Try installing pkg_cutleaves port and see if it can help you clean up
unneeded ports.  Also, consider trimming down your log files in /var/log.

You can also use the "du -hd1 /" trick to narrow down where all the
space is being used.  Depending on what's installed on the server, however,
I doubt you'll be able to free up much of that space.
