I haven't used freebsd since 4.1, but the last time I looked, it was not too much bigger than openbsd/netbsd on a default install. A base freebsd install is usually much smaller than your average linux distro. there was a picobsd distribution :) but the work from that just eventually got merged back into the installer system for freebsd if i remember right.
