If you investigate disk consumption with du(8), you will likely discover that /usr/ports/pobj is large due to building. Study Section 15.3.6 for learning how to clean up your tree.

...& if you insist on building ports, you will simply need to allocate more space to /usr/ports than in your current scheme. Going back to your thread on partition sizes, adding another disk simply for this subtree is another option.
