Space wise, I've cut down significantly on the amount of disk space used
by using hard links ... basically, i Have a script that builds the
'directory hierarcy' (since you can't link those) and then creates hard
links to files under those hierarchies.  ?Right now, I'm doing ports,
X11R6, bin, usr/bin /sbin, /usr/sbin ...

basically, have been doing "the easy ones" to do ... /usr/local and
/etc are independant ..
