Add more RAM, it should be atleast a Gig.

Happy compilation of Apache mods and mod_jk and gd and hopefully your
tomcat processes wont spawn and behave like a POS

What size?

More RAM, 1G of swap wont be used. So you can cut down here, and you
definitely would want to on a DB service.

200M

20M-50M tops

What are you planning to put here? 500M is just fine

2.5G more than enough. YOu dont need to install much on a server in /usr

> 6. /usr/local ---- 1250 MB

2G, for stuff you compile

What's this for?

Good sized var. You might want to split it to /var/log, /var/www and
/var/mail. 
Create a /tmp if you need to put test stuff and all.

Sounds like a eServer 335
