In situation like this I move /usr/ports (and if necessary /var/tmp) to /home and make symbolic link to them...
This is how i compiled OpenOffice on my PC
After that i move them back

/ 512M
/tmp 512M
/usr 12GB (ain't enough to compile OpenOffice, only 5.3GB is free)
/var 3GB

Note that if you do like i did, then later recompiling some other apps, make sure to remove work (or what was the correct name) directory, otherwise there will be problems during compilation
