/ 64 MB
/var 64 MB
swap 128 MB
/usr what's left
you might want a separate partition for /tmp and /home
maybe 64MB for /tmp? then reduce /usr to 600MB and give /home the
rest. This will, I think, leave enough space in /usr for a fair
number of ports, and kernel and "world" sources and objects, and
for X.
Just taking the defaults works fairly well.
