It can be done, but it requires some surgical work behind the installer to
make enough room for stuff to come in.  I just did this a few weeks ago :)

Basically, blow away /usr/include and /usr/share as fast as they fill in.
Kill selected stuff out of /usr/libexec, and be really careful around /lib
and /usr/lib (it helps to have a machine you can NFS from to steal libs
back from).

I didn't bother with swap.  This was a print server.
