Defrag partition

If im going to be adding a partition to my HD should i defrag it first? it just seems to me like it would be better for that partition to have a whole section of the physical HD to itself rather than having it slip up all around

Partitions are usually allocated in a sequential manner (exceptions are partitions created by logical volume managers) -- the fragmentation on your filesystems matters not to the unallocated space (which I assume you have, or you'll have to resize a filesystem to make place -- resizing may or may not defrag your filesystem in the process).
