Both uzip and zip can save up to 60% of storage space. For uzip you would need a ton of memory to generate the image, but that is a one-time cost. Consuming the image is pretty efficient. Unless there are a lot of hard links or special files, fuse-zip from ports might work. Otherwise there is mount-zip, which is not in ports. I am not sold on zip, though. I have been trying to build a kernel from source stored in a zip archive and it does not work. Doing the same thing with source stored in a uzip image works as expected.
