Apache can now, and will by default, use md5 to hash passwords. The prefix used is 'apa', whereas FreeBSD traditionally has used $1$. If you have a password file with $1$-prefixed md5-hashes, dbmmanage fails to recognize them as crypted. How-To-Repeat: create a password using dbmmanage on a system *not* using DES for crypt(3) routines, and with a somewhat elderly apache (1.3.3 should do, but I can't remeber where the 'apa' prefix was introduced. This pasword hash will have a $1$ prefix. $ dbmmmanage pwfile verify user will fail, since dbmmanage believes the password is plain text, not hashed.
