I recently wrote a short afs_adduser and afs_deluser script to do 
this.  The script also does things like set their afs uid to be the 
same as their UNIX uid and adds them to certain groups etc., based on 
our environment.  I'll gladly send them to the list or people 
privately (whichever is preferred).

They're not pretty; getting it done was the priority, not elegance.

You'll likely have to customize it some, since we do silly things like
use hesiod :)  But it's simple to create all the stuff required for a 
list of users by:

 for i in `cat list_of_users.txt`
 do
  afs_adduser $i <groupname>
 done

Or something like that.
