fsck will tell you the level of fragmentation on the file system:

> fsck /usr
** /dev/ad0s2g (NO WRITE)
** Last Mounted on /usr
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
352462 files, 2525857 used, 875044 free (115156 frags, 94986 blocks,
3.4% fragmentation)

This is from a /usr system that's been in use for years. (note that
"frags" in the last line refer to file system fragments - "subblocks",
not fragmented files).
