It's under 300 MB on my 3.4-STABLE -- 267 MB for /usr excluding
/usr/local and /usr/X11R6, and around 25 MB for the rest excluding
/tmp and /var.  I think it could be reduced further if need be.

And if you aren't doing a make world, I think 100-200 MB of "breathing
room" would probably be plenty...

Rahul.
