Your only option here as far as I know is to partition the drive to be the new /usr partition. To acheive this you would preferrably put the system into single user mode, create a partition on the new drive and mount it under /mnt for example. Then copy all the data between. I prefer to use dump and pipe it into restore myself as this preserves all the filesystem flags that would get lost if you would just do a cp or tar. Then just update your fstab pointing /usr to the new drive and reboot the machine.
