Not directly. Likely the filesystem will not use the last sector due
to rounding to fs block sizes. You can check that with
dumpfs /dev/rsd1a | head
This reports the fs size using fragments as unit. Multiply by
fsize/sector size (4) and you get the actual fs size in sectors.
Still, best thing is to get rid of the error message.
unmount, fsck -f, edit disklabel (likely rewriting it will be
enough to get the bound fixed), fsck -f, mount.
A backup/recreate partition/restore cycle might be neeed if any of the
steps fails. So making a backup before you start playing is a good idea.
