Is it safe to do so on existing filesystem (if I'm using 2nd partition for
journal)?

i.e.:

$ grep ad0s1f /etc/fstab 
/dev/ad0s1f             /usr            ufs     rw,noatime      2   2

$ grep ad0s1b /etc/fstab
#/dev/ad0s1b             none            swap    sw              0   0

# gjournal label ad0s1f ad0s1b
# gjournal load
# fsck -y /dev/ad0s1f.journal
# sed -i -e 's|ad0s1f|ad0s1f.journal|' /etc/fstab
# sed -i -e 's|noatime|noatime,async,gjournal|' /etc/fstab
# mount /usr
