Take this with a grain of salt... but you can delete .PCK files as needed, as CM/SMS will re-create them as needed.
if you have a static package that's already out on DPs and has not or does need to change ... then you can probably delete those. I would say, any PCK that corresponds to a package ID to something that does not change and has not changed for the last... year? 18 months? can probably be deleted. it's not great practice; the best practice to ensure sufficient space is available. you (probably/most likely) won't break anything by deleting the PCK files, but if one of the packages "comes back", you'll lose the re-claimed space and the server will incur additional disk overhead/churn/whatever while it re-creates the PCK file.
