Well, let's see how you partitioned that disk...

Seems like an overkill.  On a partition where I keep 2-3 kernels and their
modules compiled, along with the basic stuff that is required to boot the
system, I have given 200 Mb and it's more than enough :)

What is this?  A second / ???

Hmmm.  Can you post the output of fdisk/disklabel on the slice (or slices)
that FreeBSD is installed?  I think that 1 Gb for /usr is far too small (at
least for someone who wants to install ALL the ports and sources), and
you're probably running out of space in the middle of the installation.
