To update the base system with cvsup, you need about 325 MB for the source and another 325 of space for the build. The new files are placed in /usr/obj, and after you have built a kernel and installed the new upgraded system, you can delete /usr/obj. This doesn't update the ports collection (the framework for building ports). The ports collection takes about 110 MB now, but updating it with cvsup doesn't require additional space.
