They usually consist of a handful of files. The only ones that are larger are ones that you've built *if* you don't "make clean" or "make distclean" after building the port. When I build a port I always do it like this: % make install clean Not cvsupping all the ports leads to more problems than it solves. If you really don't have that much space, get another hard drive.
