I have a question about what exactly I should backup on my 5.3 FreeBSD

/usr/ports
/root
/usr/local

You don't really need to backup /usr/ports and /usr/src since they can
be easily rebuilt by cvsup'ing the latest. Not backing these up will
probably save you about 500MB.
You probably do want to back up /usr/src/sys/xxx/conf,
where xxx is i386 or whatever for your sys, since that is
where your kernel config for custom kernels normally resides.
