FWIW, this is how I think it should be done:

(1) A new mandatory file pkg/SIZE, containing the number of bytes
    required by the installation, to be submitted by the porter.  Like
    files/md5, there is a target in bsd.port.mk to create it (probably
    via pkg_create, like you suggested).  Maybe another target in
    bsd.port.mk to verify it, but it has to ignore a difference of a
    few bytes (few Kbytes?).

(2) A new field in ports/INDEX containing all the sizes of all ports.

(3) New option to pkg_create to calculate the size and print it out
    to stdout.  Also another option to put the size file in the
    package itself.  A new option to pkg_info to print the size out
    (in bytes) to stdout, as well as maybe mods to pretty-print it
    with the rest of the stuff.

(4) sysinstall uses new field in ports/INDEX to do whatever nice
    things for the user (for instance, to warn they are about to
    exhaust their disk space by installing ktamaga which pulls in a
    whole bunch of kde stuff).
