If you have another drive available, you may consider moving /usr/src, /usr/obj, & /usr/xenocara to externally mounted partitions. Allocating 5GB per partition is more than enough for each. These partitions only need to be mounted when doing a CVS update or building; otherwise, they do not need to be mounted at all.

As a personal anecdote, I have OpenBSD installed on a storage challenged system where these three partitions reside on an external USB drive. I only attach & mount them when I update & rebuild the system.
