Yes.  It's called StuffIt SpaceSaver.  Just use the control panel
to pick a file name or label (if running System 7) criterion to 
designate files to "Never compress", then name or label your 
hard disk accordingly.  All SS'd files are expanded automatically.

If StuffIt SpaceSaver is disabled for some reason, all compressed
files will show up with StuffIt icons;  current versions of 
StuffIt Lite or Deluxe will expand them automatically if they
are double-clicked in the Finder.

If SpaceSaver is purchased along with StuffIt Deluxe 3.0, or 
the 3.0 upgrade, the latest version of Magic Menu has menu 
options that can expand SpaceSaver files or tell you how many
SS-compressed files exist on a particular volume.

>If there isn't, then I guess I'll have to run Spacesaver, for ever

Nope.  SpaceSaver is simple to install or "de-install".
