On my system I have this:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd1a 193M 44M 140M 24% /
mfs:20850 68M 10.0K 64M 0% /tmp
/dev/wd1d 242M 10M 220M 4% /var
/dev/wd1e 774M 325M 410M 44% /usr
/dev/wd1f 823M 521M 261M 67% /usr/src
/dev/wd1g 920M 209M 665M 24% /usr/ports
/dev/wd1h 991M 176M 766M 19% /usr/local
/dev/wd1i 4.9G 3.5G 1.2G 74% /home

There's 500 megs of swap, 64 of which I mount as /tmp on mfs, and as you
can see I have a lot of room to spare ... but /usr/local will fill up
when I get around to compile KDE2 and teTeX ...

I need a bigger disk! :-)

Oh well, this is not a perfect solution, and you could very well use
only a /usr partition and not mount /usr/src and /usr/ports on their own
partitions, your call.

As a workaround for your problem you could move /home to /usr and link
/usr/home to /, but you knew that ...
