I'd say glibc should provide this one... After all it's the glibc stuff
that needs them:

gaze install glibc | grep nss
/lib/libnss_compat-2.5.so
/lib/libnss_dns-2.5.so
/lib/libnss_files-2.5.so
/lib/libnss_hesiod-2.5.so
/lib/libnss_nis-2.5.so
/lib/libnss_nisplus-2.5.so
/usr/include/nss.h
/usr/lib/libnss_compat.so
/usr/lib/libnss_dns.so
/usr/lib/libnss_files.so
/usr/lib/libnss_hesiod.so
/usr/lib/libnss_nisplus.so
/usr/lib/libnss_nis.so
