A checked out version of src/release/picobsd is currently 688KB and there are two ports with files directories larger than that (and a third that only slightly smaller). There is also a precedent for having the port "sources" in the files directory. I think the biggest killer for option 3 is that the ports tree is not branched so paralleling RELENG_x source trees would be "difficult". -- Peter Jeremy
