I think the standard traceroute(8) with it's "-P" option should do what
you seem to be asking for.
There's also an add-on package called "hping" (two versions available in
pkgsrc) which claims to be able to do Path MTU discovery with its "-y"
option, but it doesn't seem to be as easy or automatic to do as it is
with traceroute.
