Generally you want to give 4G (4096M) to /usr, or cut /usr/ports /usr/ 
src and /usr/obj into pieces. I tend to just do the former these  
days. Obviously YMMV.

To figure out what's taking us space... well,

du -hcs /usr/*

Usual culprits:

/usr/ports/distfiles
/usr/ports/packages
find /usr/ports -type d -name w-* -exec du -hcs {} \;

(or -exec rm -r {} \;)

Probably you just haven't been cleaning up your port sources or work  
directories or what have you. It's not that big of a deal, more than  
likely. :)

Now, when it happens in /var, that can be a cause for sadness.
