I don't.

I keep the most recent release, a snapshot or two, and whatever set of
packages is required for same.  I also keep the ports distfiles
(because some of the packages are of GPLware so we are required to do
so).  I have a complete XFree86 and CPAN on another disk.

I also don't keep anything which merely duplicates a cvsup
collection.  That includes source, CVS repository, and ports.

Unfortunately, I can't justify adding an 18G disk to xyz right now, so
I'm stuck trimming loads whenever something new gets added.  (Does
anybody even make a low-profile 18G disk?  All the Seacrates our usual
supplier lists are half-height.)
