No hassles, go to single user, copy /var to the new disk, rename the old /var to /var-old, mkdir /var and mount the new /var. reboot and ignore any related error messages on the way down. Clean up at leisure.
Have done this a few times now, used to use a boot disk, but the method above works fine. Have never bothered with a symlink as its messy from a maintenance point of view (seen sun systems where someone had moved directories all over the place, sometimes multiple times and symlinked each time - what a mess!).
