Quite a lot, multiple GBs.

That will hurt. A regular chromium build takes about 16 CPU-hours on
my fairly modern i7 CPU, SSDs and large RAM. Parallel compilation helps
a lot, keeping 16 CPU threads busy and my feet warm (building chromium
alone takes 1 hour of wall clock time on my system - if that's the only
thing I'm running at that time).

I'm not even sure if your SD card will survive that :)

See bsd.ports.mk: DISABLE_MAKE_JOBS (as in "make -DDISABLE_MAKE_JOBS").

Gruss,
