I would get the latest/greatest dump/restore and try them. Note that
you'll have to mess around a bit in the new /var because everything will
be down a layer:
cd /var-new
dump 0f - / | restore xbf 2 - var
cd var # now in /var-new/var
mv * .. # may also need to move ".??*" to get any "dot" entries
ls -a # see what's left and deal with them
cd .. # now in /var-new
rmdir var # will fail if var not yet empty
Note that you probably want to do a move of /var in single user mode as
it's likely to have several files active in multi user.
