I would prefer saving the useradd() functions in separate files. This 
keeps them more readable when being integrated into the +USERGROUP script.

What about mk/install/usergroup.${PLATFORM}.sh?

I wouldn't call the function "useradd". It might lead to confusion, as 
there is already a tool named useradd(1) on some platforms. Maybe 
useradd_fn or pkgsrc_useradd.
