I have a FreeBSD 5.4 system and would like to migrate users in the

I'd probably sort /etc/master.passwd and pipe through awk:
sort -t ':' -k3,3n /etc/master.passwd | \
awk -F ':' '$3 ~ /^3[0-9][0-9][0-9]/, $3 ~ /^5/ { print }'
This will sort /etc/master.passwd numerically on the third field, uid, and
then give you all the lines starting with the first one where the uid is a
3 followed by at least three digits, up to and including the first one after
that where the first digit of the uid is a 5.
If you capture the output you should be able to merge it on the new host.
