I AM A PACK RAT!! Thanks everyone for your responses and help, I hope I can return the favor at some point. I used Roger's suggestion to do a 'du -xh . | less', and noticed that I had mostly small files (under 1MB), but that I had lots and lots of them. I noticed an abnormally large amount of files in /lib/modules and it dawned on me, "Wow, it's been a while since I've done any kernel cleaning, how many could I have in there?"
Well as it turns out, I had kernels going back to 2.4.18-3, with a total of 12 kernels in all. I deleted 10 of the 12 and now I'm back down to a happy 27% on /.
