You should turn write caching off on your drives.
and in addition to that... you can enable a foreground fsck at boot
which might be the better option if boot times aren't an issue.

I want just to share my last experience with the combination of
power failure + background fsck. After the power returned and the
machine booted, it sheduled background fsck after 60 seconds, but
at this point most of the services were already started, and some of them
seemed to rely on files that were probably in unclean state before the
check.
This unfortunately leaded to some lost email...after the fsck completed,
everything runs ok, but i have now set background_fsck to NO in rc.conf.
Here is a sad sample from my qmail log file :

The filesystem looks the same before, during, and after background
fsck runs, other than the free space information.
