Assuming you're running FreeBSD 6 (or -CURRENT) then unless
you've
knowingly turned off background fsck, all you need to do is
just leave
the system to check itself.

I'm using FreeBSD 5.4 at the moment, so does it take care of
itself also?

FWIW turning-off background fsck just means that the
filesystems that would 
have been checked in the background, get checked before they
are mounted, as 
part of the boot process.
