This doesn't make sense.  Mounting another filesystem cannot affect the
contents of root.

Building and upgrading OOo needs lots of disk space, but none of it
should be in root.  Ports will build in /usr/ports/CATEGORY/NAME/work
by default (you can and probably should change this using WRKDIRPREFIX
in /etc/make.conf).  Portupgrade needs space in /var/tmp for temporary
packages.

Assuming /home, /tmp, /usr and /var are not part of root, there is no
reason for / to use more than 100-200MB.  Rather than blindly adding
10GB space, I suggest you investigate and correct the underlying problem.
