in a case where you partitioned your disc as suggested in
the freebsd handbook, you might only have two partitions
in all (/ and /usr). in this case you can move (if not already
done so) your /var and /home directory to /usr and place a
symlink to the original directories.
eg. /var -> /usr/var/, /home -> /usr/home/

now if these two directories were filling up your root 
partition, this should have helped.

maybe you can also move /tmp but i'm not exactly sure if this
will cause problems or not.
