People have been happy with diskprep:
	http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/diskprep

which does exactly this.  It even supports sucking in config files so
that you could make all the disk have 4 partitions, with one 32M, one
128M type swap, one 50M and one that's the rest of the disk.  Can't do 
it interactively, but you can with a simple config file.  Oh, and
please tune my filesystems:
    $minfree = 5;
    $opt_perf = "space";
    $part{a}{type} = "4.2BSD";
    $part{a}{size} = 32*1024*2;
    $part{b}{type} = "swap";
    $part{a}{size} = 128*1024*2;
    $part{e}{type} = "4.2BSD";
    $part{e}{size} = 50*1024*2;
    $part{f}{type} = "4.2BSD";
    $hog_part = 'f';

I gotta find someone to write a manpage for this.  :-)
