No, you can delete it now.

Since Subversion 1.2.0, the FSFS FS-type is the default, so that  
option is not necessary.

For further help with Subversion, do check out the Subversion book at  
http://svnbook.org and the Subversion users mailing list at http:// 
subversion.tigris.org/mailing-list-guidelines.html . It's a very  
active and rather high-traffic list filled with lots of helpful  
people who generally answer questions very quickly. Of course you  
should search the mailing list archives at http://svn.haxx.se/users/  
first because many questions have already been asked before.
