It also has the , option:

  === grog@eureka (/dev/pts/72) ~ 8 -> df -,
  Filesystem  1048576-blocks      Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
  /dev/ada0p4         39,662    21,918    14,571    60%    /
  /dev/ada0p2         39,662    13,447    23,042    37%    /destdir
  /dev/ada0p5      3,705,520 1,831,345 1,577,733    54%    /home
  /dev/ada1p1      7,629,565 6,358,607 1,194,661    84%    /Photos

I find it much easier to see the relative size like that.
