There's a pam_cracklib module floating around somewhere that you can install to enforce strong password security. There are also other similar implementations (I'm pretty sure at least one is in ports, but I couldn't find it with 5 seconds of searching). PAM is definitely the way to go since you won't need to make any code changes or recompile anything.
