var out of space

Hello,
I inherited a freebsd installation with a var slice/mount that is to
small and filling up all the time.
What type of info should I provide to allow someone to help me with a
solution?
I would very much prefer to not install another drive just for /var.
/usr has plenty of space. Can I mount var off of /usr?
Here is the output of df for starters:
/dev/ad0s1a 128990 119970 -1298 101% /
/dev/ad0s1f 257998 185246 52114 78% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1g 112755734 4533434 99201842 4% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 257998 206956 30404 87% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
and ls -la at / looks like this:

Thanks for any help,
