/usr is almost full

It is normal. You should not take care about it. There should be no active log files in the /usr filesystem.
The /usr is increased automatically when needed during installation process.
When you need to remove something from /usr you can uninstall some unncessary software.
Also when you have some software APPLIED you can COMMIT it (when you are sure that the current APPLIED software is stable you can delete old one by COMMIT the running one. Once you do it the software rejecting is not possible).
If there are any data which shouldn't be in /usr you can remove them.
try this:
cd /usr
du -sk *|sort -n

I've had /usr go up to 99% full. As ogniemi says, it is common and something you usually don't have to worry about.
The only time you have to worry about it is if you are installing software through something other than installp or smit. installp and smit automatically increase the size of /usr. Other software that have their own installation program and put their app in /usr do not extend /usr automatically.

If you use EMC or HTTPServer, for example, the defaults are in /usr, so it depends on your configuration.
However, normally /usr is just installed software and leaving it at a high %used is not a problem. But check your installed software to see if it does log anything to /usr.
