In your kernel config file, use

makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="<the modules you need>"

E.g.

makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE="atapicam zfs geom_eli geom_journal"

will build only the atapicam, zfs, geom_eli and geom_journal modules.
To save even more space, you could remove the

makeoptions DEBUG=-g

This will prevent debug symbols for kernel and modules from being installed.

If that isn't enough, have a look at the src.conf(5) man page, for a 
list of options that let you choose what parts of the userland to install.
