I find it easiest to simply snarf down the entire src tree with this sup file:

current  release=allsrc  host=sup.NetBSD.ORG  hostbase=/a/anon_ftp
base=/var  prefix=/usr  backup  use-rel-suffix  delete
current  release=security  host=sup.NetBSD.ORG  hostbase=/a/anon_ftp
base=/var  prefix=/usr  backup  use-rel-suffix  delete
current  release=othersrc  host=sup.NetBSD.ORG  hostbase=/a/anon_ftp
base=/var  prefix=/usr/src  backup  use-rel-suffix  delete
current  release=doc  host=sup.NetBSD.ORG  hostbase=/a/anon_ftp  base=/var
prefix=/usr/src  backup  use-rel-suffix  delete

That's /var/sup/supfile. Since I use BSDOBJDIR, I can show you exactly how
much space the sources and objects take up:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0h      535663   249973   258906    49%    /usr/src
/dev/sd0f      178415   105682    63812    62%    /usr/obj

That's on a Sun 3/60 (mc68020). The obj will be bigger on a RISC; here is
the number for my Sun SPARC Classic:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0f      346862   145582   183936    44%    /usr/obj

I find that 2GB makes for a comfortable build system on one disk; you'll
want another 150MB for a partition to "make DESTDIR=/foo distribution" into.
