No. I haven't found any other programs.

The dates in fsplit suggest that it hasn't seen any development
since 1983.  The functionality it provided then can be accomplished
with vi and cp.

I haven't looked at fpr, but you can get fancy program listings 
with a2ps (and probably apsfilter) which is (are) already in the
ports collections.

I say kill them (of course asbestos under garments might be needed).
It should be noted that cvs will maintain a copy of both in the attic,
so anyone who wants the source can get it.
