I tested this on my wife's laptop, just to be safe:

Before:
% du -h -d 1 /sw
300K    /sw/Applications
  84M    /sw/bin
3.1M    /sw/etc
  61M    /sw/fink
4.0M    /sw/include
604M    /sw/lib
112K    /sw/Library
648K    /sw/sbin
2.2G    /sw/share
5.1M    /sw/src
1.1G    /sw/var
4.0G    /sw


Then do:

sudo mv /sw  /sw.1
sudo ditto --hfsCompression  /sw.1  /sw
sudo rm -rf /sw.1


After:
% du -h -d 1 /sw
  64K    /sw/Applications
  33M    /sw/bin
508K    /sw/etc
6.1M    /sw/fink
484K    /sw/include
199M    /sw/lib
  44K    /sw/Library
208K    /sw/sbin
738M    /sw/share
5.1M    /sw/src
1.0G    /sw/var
2.0G    /sw

I think it might be faster, too, but I'm not certain.
