I would recommend adding a drive. Partition the drive and copy /usr/local
onto it. Then edit /etc/fstab and mount /usr/local at the new location. You 
can do the same thing with /usr/src.

If an additional disk is not an option, then consider putting /usr/src in a 
tarball and storing it on another machine while you work out a long term 
solution to the diskspace problem. You shouldn't need the files in /usr/src 
until you need to compile something or build an rpm.

I don't recommend anything in /usr be deleted. There are a lot of
dependencies that could cause something to fail. It might also cause
problems with rpm dependencies when upgrading or installing software.
