Martin,
There are a number of shell programs either /bin/sh or /bin/csh.
I know that the Unix V release 4.0 comes with an adduser shellscript.
That's cpyrighted by AT&T of course, it comes on the Amiga 3000UX
machines from Commodore, among others.

It's not that difficult to write such a thing yourself, you know.
Just some executable scripts like:
addgroup
adduser
mkhomedir
etc.
