 * So, let's say I'm insane.
 * 
 * Let's say I wanna build, from source, all of the ports.
 * 
 * How much disk space should I expect to use for this for the /usr/ports
 * tree, the distfiles, working dirs, etc?

Three gigabytes.

That figure includes /usr/local and packages but only if you clean
/usr/ports reasonably fast (like, clean archivers/ and astro/ when the
build is already in net/).
