Code: 
# pkg upgrade
(snip)
The process will require 160 MiB more space.
817 MiB to be downloaded.

I've done it several times in the last month and it's always that big. Downloading that much takes 2-4 hours. It just doesn't seem right. Is it?
 
What version of FreeBSD? Can you also show us the output of pkg version -vR?
 
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p10

I snipped that because it was pages long. The problem is that running
# freebsd-update fetch followed by # pkg update and # pkg upgrade does not change the size of the download if one runs those commands again. I'm obviously missing something.
 
Well, you have a lot of stuff installed. There's bound to be a lot out of date.
 
Thanks for looking at it SirDice. :) There is indeed a lot installed compared to a server, but I haven't added more than a couple of utilities on top of a regular KDE install with Firefox added. You suggest that "There's bound to be a lot out of date", so I will read that as what I'm seeing is probably normal. I'll go ahead with pkg upgrade and see what I end up with in the morning.
 
Keep in mind the ports (and as a result packages) are in constant motion. So, there's almost always something to update. I usually only update when I run into problems or if there's a security issue reported.
