If your meat is frozen, and if you have a very, very sharp knife, you should be able to cot the portions you need and freeze them in separate bags. Having it out long enough to cut and repackage should not allow it to thaw too much.

I portion the meat, for instance, chicken pieces or hamburger meat as soon as I get it home from the supermarket, as it most definitely is unsafe to thaw and refreeze meat. I think it is due to bacterial organisms and growth.
