Remove those two if you're doing an upgrade using the discs. If you're 
building the upgrade from source, you obviously can't do that. If adding 
a drive is an option, then it becomes easy - put /usr/ports /usr/src and 
/usr/obj on the new drive and be done with it.

If it helps any, here's some output from a 6.1RC:

root at colossus(/usr)# du -h -d1
2.0K    ./.snap
 13G    ./ports
418M    ./src
 24M    ./bin
 14M    ./include
 49M    ./lib
 92K    ./libdata
 15M    ./libexec
2.8G    ./local
 13M    ./sbin
172M    ./share
180K    ./games
885M    ./X11R6
154M    ./compat
743M    ./obj
 14G    ./home
 31M    ./sup
2.3M    ./lost+found
 32G    .
