Multiple choices. Binary updates. If you have another FreeBSD system
already, use that to do the builds, and install them on your small
system through packaging or by mounting the build system's disks (via
NFS) on the small system.

That's pretty easy. But if you've already got disk space on other
machines, mounting that isn't much harder, and is certainly cheaper.

For a specific reason, or just a gut feeling? I can imagine some ways in
which it could be true, but they're all based on fairly far-fetched
scenarios.
