The ext2 file system is designed very well so there is probably no need
to ever defrag, but a program does exist.  The following location has
the source for it.

ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/ext2fs/defrag-0.70.tar.gz

Read the warnings, have a bootable linux floppy, read the documentation
citing performance comparisons before and after running defrag, read the
warnings.  I used it about two years ago and suffered no ill effects but
also saw no noticeable speed improvements.
