No. Generally users are encouraged to use snapshots and packages and not build things themselves so the auto-partitioning mostly assumes that. The problem is that since the auto-partitioning layout doesn't include a separate /usr/xenocara or /usr/xobj partitions, it all goes into /usr which is allocated a max of 2G and probably not enough inodes. See disklabel(8). If you have a giant /home left over, carve out a /usr/xenocara and a /usr/xobj for yourself. I gave each 5G and am using ~15% of each. To give you an idea. Tim.
