In the documentation of babel, and/or in the comments of frenchb.cfg in a
standard distro, we can find the folowing example :

\initiate at active@char{«}
\initiate at active@char{»}
\AtBeginDocument{%
  \def«{\og\ignorespaces}%
  \def»{{\fg}}%
  }%

which is essentially the same as yours, maybe it's a bit better to define
active chars using babel's mechanisms, I don't know. Anyway, this becomes
useless with v2 of frenchb.ldf, which provides \frenchbsetup{og=«,fg=»} to
do essentially the same (but maybe with some usefull additional precautions,
I didn't read the code).

As far as I know, \og and \fg are not old at all : I am still using them in
my documents when I don't want to use the new frecnhb features for
compatibility resaons.
