Another thing you can do is tar up and remove /usr/man.

     cd /usr/man
     tar cdf - . | compress > /tmp/man.tar.Z
     if you are paranoid, ftp man.Z to some place with enough disk
     cd /
     rm -rf /usr/man

The BOS update may create a new /usr/man/cat1/dbx.1.  
/usr/man and /usr/man/cat1 will be recreated if they are not present.

This should free up about 7,500 blocks.
