well, there's 'make clean'.
if you built a custom kernel and/or world, do 'rm -rf /usr/obj/*'.
this is basically just like "cd /usr/src && make clean", but faster.
if you install everything from ports but often forget to include the
"clean" target in the make invocation (like me), do an occasional
'rm -rf /usr/ports/*/*/work'.
after you'll have FreeBSD installed for a longer period of time,
you'll want to delete old tarballs from /usr/ports/distfiles/.
you'll probably appreciate portsclean (part of
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/). 'portsclean -CD' will do the
'rm -fr /usr/ports/*/*/work' for you, plus remove any stale tarballs
from /usr/ports/distfiles (not referenced by any port in the ports
tree).
