Just override the defaults in /etc/rc.conf

fsck_y_enable="YES"

and if you are paranoid,

background_fsck="NO"



0(cage)# grep -i fsck /etc/defaults/rc.conf
fsck_y_enable="NO"      # Set to YES to do fsck -y if the initial preen
fails.
fsck_y_flags=""         # Additional flags for fsck -y
background_fsck="YES"   # Attempt to run fsck in the background where
possible.
background_fsck_delay="60" # Time to wait (seconds) before starting the
fsck.
0(cage)#
