Just wondering if you need to. Got my imac with 1TB and it just crossed my mind. There is no defragger in OSX though?
 
No, the file system is not broken ;)

If you want to force things, open terminal and type..

Code:
sudo periodic daily
Code:
sudo periodic weekly
Code:
sudo periodic monthly

That will run the maintenance scripts, that usually run at 3am.
 
The only time you'll have fragmentation occur drastically on a HFS+ filesystem is if you are close to filling the drive. Obviously this is by design...
