	1) make the above:

	du -k | sort -nr | head -n 30

	Whatever's causing your problem is likely to reveal itself in
the list of the 30 largest directories.


>  Filesystem  1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity  Mounted on

>  /dev/ad0s1f      2300 2286  -170   108%    /usr

	2) Depending on your installation, 2gb is _small_ for /usr.  IF
that's what you have, then you need to be ruthlessly pro-active
about purging unneeded files.
	Start by running the command above as a cron job once a day;
mail yourself the output.

	3) As others mentioned, "rm -r /usr/obj/*" before "make
buildworld".  On my system, it takes up 863 mb.

	4)a Install ports-mgt/portupgrade.
	  b run "/usr/local/sbin/portsclean -CDD"
