You can use quotas at the OS level. For FreeBSD: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/quotas.html. 
Similar things exist for those "other" :-) unix-y operating systems.

In the worst case you can have a cronjob running that calculates the 
size and performs adequate actions for the situation. Luckily it takes 
time to fill up a disk and this "solution" could actually work for 
small to medium sized installations.
