I tried to find that for original poster Xavier
(cc restored in case Xavier not on questions@), using
        cd /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports 
        echo `find . -type f | xargs grep -i -l fsck` | xargs grep -i -l ext3
& got:
        ./emulators/linux_base-c6/pkg-plist
        ./emulators/linux_base-f10/pkg-plist
        ./emulators/linux_base-fc4/pkg-plist
        ./emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3/pkg-plist.i486
        ./emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3/pkg-plist.i686

        ./sysutils/e2fsprogs/Makefile
                COMMENT?=       Utilities & library to manipulate ext2/3/4 
filesystems

Xavier, I suggest try /usr/ports/sysutils/e2fsprogs 

I saw this warning building on 8.2-RELEASE:
        If you format ext2 file systems with other operating systems,
        make sure that mke2fs is called with "-I 128" for partitions
        that you plan to share with FreeBSD.
(Not tried building it on 9 as I'm rebuilding machine now.)

/usr/local/share/doc/e2fsprogs/
        COPYING
                http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net
Says there it supports ext3 & 4 too.

Cheers,
Julian
