sudo dscl . -create /Groups/vmail PrimaryGroupID 5000
sudo dscl . -create /Users/vmail UniqueID 5000
sudo dscl . -create /Users/vmail PrimaryGroupID 5000

This will add a group with the name vmail and gid 5000, add a new user
vmail with uid 5000 and set the primary group for this user.

If you additionally set a UserShell such as /usr/bin/false it will not
show up in the login window.

Guess what MacPorts uses internally to create new users... dscl :-)
