I run 5.2.1-REL. Here are some differences:

4.x: kernel and modules reside in /kernel and /modules, there's a /standl 
around

5.x: kernel and modules reside in /boot/kernel, there's a /rescue replacing 
the old /stand (sysinstall in /usr/sbin now)

So, if you delete old 4.x kernel(s) and modules and nuke /stand if you don't 
want it anymore you should probably be able to free some space. 5.x also uses 
somewhat more space in / but the difference isn't that much:
   
Filesystem   1K-blocks    Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a     253678   54124   179260    23%    /

most of this is in /boot:

%du /boot
18      /boot/defaults
16586   /boot/kernel
1732    /boot/modules <-- appears that the nvidia module sits here, weird..
16602   /boot/kernel.old
35816   /boot


HTH,

Dan
