compiling error - /usr : filesystem full

Here's some additional Information I have been able to find. The
narrative is just to further explain what I was doing.
---------------------
I was in the process of rebuilding a new kernel for one of my laptops.
I did the whole cvsup_without-gui. I created a new kernel called
LAPTOP and commented all unnecessary drivers and options.

When I ran make buildkernel KERNCONF=LAPTOP, the process eventually
died with an error. I neglected to write down the exact error, but it
was something like

{objcopy) /usr : filesystem full

As you can see /usr is choking. I have not turned off the laptop.
Based on the information below, what can I "delete" to free up some
space. I use the word delete in broad terms. Much like the windows
world where you should 'uninstall' as opposed to simply deleting a
folder...I am not sure what to do...ie how to free up space.

The only thing I can think of is to simply # rm /usr/ports ... for
lack of a better example.

# du -ak /usr |sort -nr | > /tmp/file2.txt
This file had 24,000 lines so I deleted much of the file.

Your thoughts/suggestions will be much appreciated.
