All the stuff is built in /usr/obj. On my system, the 6.0-STABLE build
I did yesterday looks like this:

{frank:adam:~} df /usr/obj/
Filesystem  1K-blocks   Used Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s2e    507630 405354 61666    87%    /usr/obj

However, I have trimmed some stuff from userland and the kernel. With 3GB
free in /usr you should have plenty of space.

Good luck!
