It can be done, but it requires some surgical work behind the installer to make enough room for stuff to come in. I just did this a few weeks ago :) Basically, blow away /usr/include and /usr/share as fast as they fill in. Kill selected stuff out of /usr/libexec, and be really careful around /lib and /usr/lib (it helps to have a machine you can NFS from to steal libs back from). I didn't bother with swap. This was a print server.
