  Hmm... I think you could get by with (see the man pages for each):
1) a kernel
2) /sbin/init
3) /etc/ttys
4) /usr/libexec/getty
5) /usr/bin/login
6) /etc/master.passwd, /etc/pwd.db, /etc/spwd.db, /etc/passwd
7) /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb && /usr/bin/passwd (only to change passwords)
8) whatever you want to happen when they login :)
