Keep in mind that some ports (those that contain kernel modules) require the
kernel sources.

On my 7.2-RELEASE-p4 machine, /usr/src uses 495 MiB according to du(1). A
bzip2 compressed tar archive of /usr/src weighs in at 83 MiB.

If you are suffering from space constraints, consider doing a trimmed-down
buildworld (on an external disk or on another machine) as well. Using
src.conf(5) you can exclude a lot of stuff from the base system if you don't
need it.
