Well, other than /usr/obj getting filled, installkernel backs up
/kernel and /modules, which is ~6MB or so in /. installworld will
wipe out lots of files in /var (logs, locate.database, etc...) which
might explain what you saw.
If you can read Makefiles, there is a lot going on in /usr/src and
/usr/src/etc/...
