I think that background_fsck to 'no' and fsck_y_enable to 'yes' will
do approximately what you want.

Alternatively, the following script in /etc/rc.d might do the trick.
I just typed it into text editor, and ran rcorder, so you need to test
it before use:

$!/bin/sh

# BEFORE: initdiskless
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD

. /etc/rc.subr

name="force_fsck"
start_cmd="force_fsck_start"
stop_cmd=":"

force_fsck_start()
{
	fsck -y
}

load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
