What parameters do you want to set? You can set the blocksize
and fragment size in the disklabel, and others can be set later
using tunefs(8). 

If you want to set parameters that have to be specified to newfs,
you are currently out of luck. The installation should be more
friendly about installing on already prepared filesystems, so
that you can do what you want, but it isn't yet.
