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:

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.
