Correct on all counts. This laptop runs KDE, here's my breakdown:
# du -sh /usr
13G /usr
# du -sh /usr/*
12K /usr/INSTALL
104K /usr/Licenses_for_Third-Party_Components.txt
426M /usr/bin
12M /usr/gnu-classpath-0.98
460M /usr/include
0 /usr/lib
525M /usr/lib32
2.8G /usr/lib64
134M /usr/libexec
512K /usr/local
38M /usr/sbin
3.6G /usr/share
4.9G /usr/src
0 /usr/tmp
11M /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Those numbers are not likely to change much with time, with one exception:
/usr/src
That can get real big real quick if you don't clean up kernel sources
often. Ideally, you'd make that a suitably sized LV and mount it seperately.
The other space consumer is /usr/share with it's many documentation
files. But those too tend to be stable once you have everything
installed. 5G free out of 19G is ~75% space in use which is perfectly
acceptable for this case.
Regular monitoring of the state of your machines will tell you if space
usage increases so you can investigate and deal with it timeously.
I assume you long since moved portage and it's storage directories out
of /usr into /var?
