From their handbook:

A minimal installation of FreeBSD takes as little as 100MB of disk space. However, that is a very minimal install, leaving almost no space for your own files. A more realistic minimum is 250MB without a graphical environment, and 350MB or more if you want a graphical user interface. If you intend to install a lot of third party software as well, then you will need more space.

here's the link

I've heard of a VERY small UNIX - where it has no graphical env - unfortunately, I don't remember where or when I had heard of it.
