1 - 'df -k' will show used/available space on mounted filesystems

2 - if you have ever built and installed the entire OS from source you
can issue "make clean" while in /usr/src

3 - the ports system keeps the files it downloads in
/usr/ports/distfiles.  You can delete the files in that directory, and
in the future use "make install clean distclean" to both clean the port
directory and delete the distfiles.

good luck!
