Well, /opt and /usr can be calculated (yast does it)
Or if you want it Q&D, install the whole bunch as you think you might
need it, with just a root partition, have a look what you need, and
re-install it properly (opt & usr at 75%)

/srv you can also plan ahead (mysql, apache, ldap, tftp, ...)
/home is always a surprise
/tmp auto-purge weekly
/var/log is your own admin responsibility to keep tidy
btw, i did mean ext3 for small partitions that varies, not ext2 or
reiser:
journaling is nice for systems that change.
But a 100MB reiser-FS is filled for 30% with internal datastructures.
For large partitions (>250GB) ext is a pita), it takes ages to make.
