I don't know of any programs that defrag FFS partitions... if there are
any, I'm sure they cost a lot of money though :) Anyways, supposedly, if
you have enough free space (5-10%), things aren't supposed to get too
fragmented. The /usr partition on one of my machines was about 5%
fragmented, and it had been in moderate use for about two years. (I
recently got a new drive and moved everything over to it, so now
everything's less than 1% fragmented).

What sorts of things are you doing anyways? :) You're not supposed to
change your root partition much... The root partitions of all of my
machines seem to have around 0.6% fragmentation.
