Making a list of the files you really need might be easier, though i
wouldn't care too much about a few hundred megabytes... diskspace is
quite cheap ;)

I usually either just install the distribution sets I need (f.e. don't
install kerberos,compiler tools,source,...), or explicitly install what I need.

You could at least use some stuff in /etc/make.conf like
NO_PERL,NO_KERBEROS,NO_UUCP,NO_SENDMAIL,...

This will only work if you do a make world though... else you can only
choose distribution sets
