You would be surprised how little space most packages actually consume once installed :-) For example, my desktop has a full KDE install (*with* semantic-desktop), lots of extra packages for developing, graphics editing, audio editing, four different browsers with all their deps, etc. It's a multilib system with lots of 32-bit compatibility deps. In total, that's 1381 installed packages. Total space consumed is 8GB. So I'd say try to install it. If it turns out it takes too much space, it's very easy to get rid of all those deps again: emerge -aC dev-vcs/git emerge -a --depclean
