Does it really have a tilde? That usually means the file has been edited, and this is a backup file. Don't you have one without the tilde? If so, is that complete? By the way, all the files in the rc directories are just (or should be) symlinks to files in /etc/init.d, so check if you have a complete version of nscd there, and what this tilde file is pointing to.
When I go there, sure enough, the file is truncated in the middle of a loop statement.
Can I 'rebuild' this file, or is it special to my install?
The file is in the nscd package, so in the worst case scenario you could just reinstall that package
