Auto-partitioning (as BSDfan666 already states...) is simply one way that partitions can be sized. Auto-partitioning cannot guarantee that the partition sizes created will work in all situations. Because you had added so many applications, you have nearly filled up /usr.

What you should learn from this df(1) output is:
  • You should monitor partition sizes throughout the life of this particular installation watching to see if /usr fills completely up. If it does, you may be forced to re-install.
  • Most likely, you should expect that when you move to OpenBSD 4.7, you should do a fresh installation, not upgrade. Upgrading does not allow partition sizes to be changed.
  • If you look at the sizes of the other partitions, /home doesn't need to be 13GB in size. If in future installations you intend to install the same applications, shrink the size of /home & increase the size of /usr. Yes, this means that you will have to manually size the partitions yourself. Write down in a notebook what sizes work best for you, & refer to this information when you reinstall.
The fact that /usr has filled up the space allotted is not a reason to be concerned unless you intend to add more applications. Simply run df(1) on a regular basis & monitor its size.
Can say to OpenBSD use home partition and install application in home partititons
