This is from
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

4.6 Remove /usr/obj
As parts of the system are rebuilt they are placed in directories which
(by default) go under /usr/obj. The directories shadow those under
/usr/src.

You can speed up the make buildworld process, and possibly save yourself
some dependency headaches by removing this directory as well.

Some files below /usr/obj may have the immutable flag set (see
chflags(1) for more information) which must be removed first.

# cd /usr/obj
# chflags -R noschg *
# rm -rf *

---

That might get you enough room.
