There are several available.  FM/2 has an HPFS defrager, as do 
Gammatech and the Graham Utilities.

HPFS is designed to resist fragmentation.  If there is sufficient
contiguous space to store a file without fragmenting, HPFS will 
use it.  As long as your free space on the partition is at 
least 20% you shouldn't suffer from fragmentation except with 
frequently altered files (message base indexes and log files, 
for example).
