If you are running 10.3. it automatically defragments files smaller 
than 20 MB iz size. Generally I haven't found fragmentation to be a 
problem.
You might want to try MacJanitor or Macaroni (you can find either on 
www.versiontracker.com), they will run the maintenance scripts that are 
supposed to be scheduled in the middle of the night, but probably 
rarely do.
