Yes, if you find the room. Start the build again like,

  # make -DNOCLEAN buildworld

The NOCLEAN will prevent the tree from being cleaned out and you won't
lose the stuff already built. (This is only safe to do if you are
building from the exact same sources that were used for the previous
build. DO NOT re-cvsup.)

Whatever you don't feel bad about losing.

Really? A 1.2 GB drive that has one partition that by itself is 1.3
GB? Interesting.

Honestly, disk drives are so ridiculously cheap these days, there is
not a lot of reason to go to a lot of hassle to live in 1.3 GB.
