I will assume that you are using ext2fs.

man "tune2fs" 
OPTIONS
       -c max-mount-counts
              adjust the maximal mounts count between two filesystem checks. 

I would assume that if your root partition was /dev/hda2, and (as root) you
issued a command such as:

tune2fs -c 0 /dev/hda2

it would set the maximal mounts count to  zero, and the filesystem would always
be checked.  

I have never done this myself (fsck takes way too long ;>) but it sounds
reasonable given the man page.
