 I'd suggest, 
 
   - guru level:  ntfsresize + fdisk
 
   - otherwise: QTParted on SystemRecueCD

 I've "validated" it. I have an extensive test suite and it runs just as
 perfectly on FreeBSD as on Linux. Although I don't remember the exact
 FreeBSD version I used ...

 Well,
 
      1. You can use one of the many FreeBSD Live CD's:
 
    	     http://forums.livecdnews.com/viewtopic.php?t=12
 
         they can either include it or you can download a precompiled 
         ntfsresize from somehere (or the source and compile yourself).
 
      2. Install can include it, just like many Linux distro do or as 
         FIPS included.
 
 Cheers,
