Have you checked this:
http://phk.freebsd.dk/misc/build_options/

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but in my experience (I
care more about build time than size though, and still want a fairly
functional system) these are the most important variables to set:

NO_MODULES (stick everything in the kernel - tons of stuff is built
twice, like ufs support)
WITHOUT_PROFILE
WITHOUT_LIB32
WITHOUT_CLANG
WITHOUT_KERBEROS
WITHOUT_CDDL

Some of the options involving src/share like WITHOUT_LOCALES seem to
kill a lot of files too.

Everything else either just skips a couple files (of course, that can
add up) or starts to cut into basic functionality (like no man pages),
IMHO.
