Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez <victor@usac.edu.gt> tipped me off 
to the answer. (hurray!)

It seems to be that the Linux compatibility libraries eat up all
the space as they are installed to /compat.  What I was instructed
to do was move the libraries to /usr/compat and write in a symlink,

ln -s /usr/compat /compat

and that seemed to clear up the problem.  I am back down to a 
reasonable 49%.

Filesystem   1K-blocks   Used      Avail    Capacity   Mounted on
/dev/wd0a      31775     14418     14815      49%      /


The things we do for DOOM...


However, this might be a good item to document, as I could find 
the answer written nowhere.  Perhaps in the 2.2.2 errata, along
with the login.conf problem?

And finally, where would one find the 2.2.2 errata?  I have the 
'Complete FreeBSD' book, looked on the website, and found no such 
errata.
