It does, actually:

        if (sectorsize == 0)
                if (ioctl(disk.d_fd, DIOCGSECTORSIZE, &sectorsize) == -1)
                        sectorsize = 0; /* back out on error for safety */
        /* ... */
        if (fsize <= 0)
                fsize = MAX(DFL_FRAGSIZE, sectorsize);
        if (bsize <= 0)
                bsize = MIN(DFL_BLKSIZE, 8 * fsize);

If I read the sysinstall code correctly, it won't specify a block and
fragment size unless you actually press 'N' to set custom options - at
which point it will initialize them to "-b 16384 -f 2048" (which are the
newfs defaults for disks with sector sizes <= 2048) before displaying
the dialog box where you can edit them.
