Here it is. As written it doesn't add the delay, but you can change
etc/defaults/rc.conf to do that it desired.

I have added your suggested change to -current (6.0). I decided to
set the default startup delay to sixty seconds as that seems to be
enough time to let the initial system startup settle down. If this
change proves to be popular, it can be considered for MFC'ing to 5.0.

Log:
Delay an optional amount of time after booting before starting a
background fsck. The delay defaults to sixty seconds to allow
large applications such as the X server to start before disk I/O
bandwidth is monopolized by fsck.
