You have both trees; you tell us :)  Compare the output of "du -d 1" on each
tree, and see where the difference in space is.  The x11-fm/xdiskusage port
gives a you a nice visualization of space usage, too.  For reference,
/usr/src on my servers is around 750 MB with ZFS compression (du -s), and
1.8 GB uncompressed (du -sA).
