I'm afraid that if you're not using LVM, a repartition is the only real way out.
When you repartition, make sure that you allocate enough room for future growth.
Alternatively, you can set up a symlink farm from /var to another partition
(which can become quite confusing). You can also go through /var and delete old
logs which would be taking up space. This is only a short-term solution, though.
