At work, we do all kinds of hand-stands to build an image and get
users added to it in the right order...  We have a chroot where we
build the product.  We build ports, which add users to the chroot,
then make packages that we installed into a subdir of that.  Once
we've built and installed all the ports in the chroot, we copy the
password files to the destination and then install packages into
there.

This is somewhat convoluted, but does work well in practice...  The
one problem that we've started seeing lately is with cross building..
