What about doing a

# cd /usr ; du -hs *

This will list the contents of the hierarchy, so you might get a
glimpse of where all your disk space is. A pretty good example would
be /usr/ports/distfiles. And if you don't do a "make clean" after you
installed a port you have a complete source tree, including object
files and read to be installed binaries in a ./work-subdir of every
port you installed.

cd /usr/ports ; make clean

will help in this case.

And is it possible that your home-Directory is actually
/usr/home/<username>? In all FreeBSD installations I did my home-dirs
end up there, /home being just a symlink to /usr/home.
