'Filelight' is a handy application to quickly pinpoint disk hogging 
directories.  It makes a kind of pie chart of the harddisk, with the ability 
to descend into subdirectories with a click.  It's in the sysutils ports.

For a quick example of how it looks, see

PS. Running 'portsclean' with various options can also free substantial 
amounts of harddisk space!
