The base installation itself is less than 500MB, but pkgsrc is over 500MB (2008Q4 is reading 612 MB). When you go to install a package, you are adding to that tally by storing all the working files.

You won't gain much by removing games - they only take up less than 5 MB of space.
Maybe he just installed binaries from the different machine which has
bigger HDD. If I am not mistaken you can also compile individual packages without snapping whole pkgsrc DryLavin in BSD Hacks talks about it. Finally probably the biggest cost saving thing is actually leaving out compiler itself. I think that GCC is about 200Mb.
