A bit under that, actually... On an i386, the built packages total about 5G. During build, the dependencies mean that /usr/local grows to almost 4G. The distfiles are about 6G Apart from OpenOffice, build directories will rarely go over 2G. that makes about ~15G, slightly under 20G in any case. With openoffice,cleanobj, we are reaching to the 25G size, but this is really an outlier, at least so far...
