You should be able to put them in /etc/skel, and add a user with:
adduser -m username
This should then copy them over from skel, with the owner set as the new user.
Read man adduser for more info

Am I missing something? I should think it would be easy to write a shell script that takes in a user name and uses mkdir, chown, chgrp, and chmod to set it up for you.
