you should be able to mount it somewhere temporarily, move everything
accross from say /usr then remount it as /usr
you might want to do it in single user mode or from a bootdisk so
nothing tries to access /usr while it is on the move
another way is to mount it somewhere and make links for /usr /home
etc that point to your new partition
