BIND, Apache, various mailing programs, at, Xauth, logs if you want to
know what happened on a particular computer six months from now (hard
to foresee this kind of thing). I think you can clear out /var/tmp if
you wish. Also many of the logs can be cleared and such. After
clearing all the data you don't need (be careful; some data is
important to portage), you shouldn't have too much more than a few
hundred megs, pretty much all highly compressable text.
