From examination of the source, "no".

Lennart has made the appropriate change and used a 8:1 block:fragment
ratio in all three cases, as there's been a lot less testing of using
smaller ratios (e.g, 4:1 or 2:1), and you can't exceed an 8:1 ratio.

I.e.,
	block size	fragment size	bytes/inode
	----------	-------------	-----------
	4 KB		0.5 KB		2 KB		(4.2BSD ? ffs default)
	8 KB		1 KB		4 KB		(NetBSD ffs default)
	16 KB		2 KB		8 KB

I've updated the man page to reflect this.

(Thanks Lennart!)

Luke.
