Here's a real-life example, on a central Linux server:

[del@babel del]$ df
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1             155517   90323    57164     61%   /
/dev/sdc1             995115  528210   415499     56%   /usr
/dev/sda5             723070   35468   650253      5%   /var
/dev/sdb1            1018298  455690   509997     47%   /usr/local
/dev/sdc2            3098342 2394240   543854     81%   /home
/dev/sda3            1096024  286936   752459     28%   /opt
/dev/sdb2             160476  145064    15412     90%   /dosc
/dev/sdb5             899360  247040   652320     27%   /dosd

Most partitions are bigger than they need to be, but then I have
2 x 2GB drives and 1 x 4GB so i'm not scratching for space.

Most of the space on /usr is just the plain Red Hat 5.2 install,
plus a bundle of RPMs from contrib.redhat.com.  It used to be
500MB but I made it bigger.

/usr/local is where I keep my source code and development stuff
including a large CVS repository.  That's been shrinking recently
because I used to have Slackware and compiled a lot of code out
of here, now I use RedHat and install the RPMs into /usr.

/home is big and pretty full because I use it as temporary space
to burn CDs (I've got about 3 CD-ROM images sitting in it at the
moment).

/opt contains:

-	KDE 1.1 RPMs
-	StarOffice 5.0
-	WABI 2.2B
-	Adobe Acrobat

'du -s *' says:

152471  Office50             /* StarOffice */
13139   acrobat              /* Acrobat Reader */
10      bin
48748   kde                  /* KDE 1.1 */
12      lost+found
273     man
72282   wabi                 /* WABI */

So, KDE uses about 50MB in /opt, but you might want to leave space
for other stuff as well (especially StarOffice).

I have some other PCs which have a 50MB root and 150MB var partition,
and NFS mount everything else off the main Linux machine.
