Like /var space has gone down considerably.. 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/... -Paul.
