Full Text Daemon is pretty small footprint and if your databases don't have any full text stuff set up it won't do any harm. There are ways you can check if you have FTS in play using DMVs and/or system objects. I honestly don't think I would bother with it.
I note that if you DO have it in play it is definitely an area you can screw up and abuse to your detriment. RTFM!!!
