My /usr/ports is much larger than 100 MB. What shows up with a du -h is 508M ./distfiles 255M ./packages 1.2G . Out of the 1.2GB, 763 MB has been generated. That still leaves 400+ MB for ports and port-structures. When I finish building a port, I do a make clean. Any files that you download will be in the distfiles. With as little space as you have allocated, you will have to keep it cleaned up.
