I strongly advise that /usr and /usr/local reside on different
partitions. Furthermore, If you plan to run a desktop environment, your
/usr/local should be big enough, say 8G - 10G, to hold all stuff you
built from the ports. And putting /var on a separate partitiion is a
good idea, I think.

You can find detailed information on how to lay out and size your
partitions in tuning(7) either locally or online.
