To free up space:
 - empty /tmp
 - remove archived logfiles in /var/log
 - deinstall packages with pkg_delete (if you want get rid of everything
 use this: "pkg_delete -f \*")
 - clean up in /home/*
 - tar up or delete /usr/src, /usr/xsrc, /usr/pkgsrc and so on
To get the rest to your new disk:
 - put the new disk in
 - perform a standard-install via boot-cd or ftp (only kernel, base and
 etc sets are needed) on the new disk and reboot into your new system
 - mount the old disk to /mnt and copy everything:
 cp -Rp /mnt/* /
