If there is "fragmentation", it is cleaned up
in the boot process (for 4.x) or done in
the background after booting (on 5.x).

Note that "fragmentation" on a ufs volume
is different from what you're used to
on DOS/FAT filesystems.

As long as the box is running, you have no
worries.  If there's ever a significant problem, you'll
be told to boot single-user and fix it yourself
using 'fsck'.
