This is a common problem.  If this is a box you're running KDE on I'd suggest 
the freespacenotifier package.  If this is a server (or doesn't run KDE) then 
I'd suggest configuring the box such that you'll get email output from cron, 
and then make a cronjob that outputs text only when the free space left on 
filesystems reaches the desired "warning" threshold.

I'm about to set up the same thing because there's a box I help administer 
that also regularly runs into this problem.  :-/
