Probably but it might not help much.

The big problem is that it looks like you have /var and /uar 
in root.    Those can grow unexpectedly - especially /var when logs
and mail grow.   /usr can grow when you install ports.
So, your best bet might be to move /var  or  /var/mail, /var/spool
and /var/log  to /home and make symlinks.   You could also put /usr/src
and /usr/ports in /home and make symlinks.   That would give you lots
of room and eliminate most unexpected growth.   Really, it is also a 
good idea to have /tmp in its own partition as well for the same
protection of unexpected growth issue.

If you don't want to deal with moving thing and making symlinks
(I do that a lot and it is easy) you could back everything up and
then repartition and make file systems for /usr. /var and /tmp.
