By the fact you say you use buildworld.sh, it implies you aren't using
Net or Free BSD.

You may want to consider upgrading to one or the other.  Somebody on one
of the FreeBSD lists posted some diffs to the make macros that would
do make (depend, all, install, clean) in each dir individually
as opposed to having to build the whole system then install.  

I don't know if they were committed to the main tree, and I don't seem
to have them offhand.

But that would help alleviate your space problem.
