An easy answer would be to put the web-browser and such the first disk, but I don't think it would solve anything. If it kept with those, FreeBSD would find itself just moving towards the same work being done at PC-BSD, wouldn't

When I see almost 200 MB free on disc1 of 7.0, and I remember the handy apps & pkgs which used to be on past releases of FreeBSD, I do not see it as moving towards PC-BSD as much as I see it as going back to what FreeBSD used to have just a few releases ago. In truth, for workstations and laptops at least, most of us do want a web browser. Not having a decent web browser out of the box in 2008 after 15 years of web browser development gives BSD a really archaic look and feel. We all know that BSD is the best, most solid OS out there - but occasionally we need to do a bit of marketing, we need to show our stuff to let others see that "we get it".
