You can safely delete everything under /usr/obj/
The files there are created by a 'make buildworld'/'make buildkernel'
and are only used for updating the system.
Once a 'make installworld'/'make installkernel' is finished /usr/obj/*
can be deleted.
If you haven't a /usr/src around there is absolutely no reason to have
/usr/obj around.
