Actually, I think it only will affect the volume measurement for each 
structure, so that's no good. There is not a flag to mri_segstats that 
will do this. If you have a registration between your native pet data 
and the FS anat, then you can use

mri_compute_volume_fractions regfile.dat pet.nii pvf
This will create pvf.{gm,wm,csf}.mgz

You can then correct the pet with something like
fscalc pet.nii div pvf.gm.mgz pet.pvf.nii

You can map the aparc+aseg into the pet space using mri_label2vol (and 
the reg from above), then use mri_segstats with the files in the native 
pet space.
