Those setting for nsswitch.conf don't look right to me.
There should have been a message printed out when you installed one of
the linux_base ports, telling you how to configure it.
I think the fc4 version is the default these days; if that is what you
are using, the message is in the file
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-fc4/pkg-message
