/usr too small

Dear all,

my system :
kern.osreldate: 503001
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Tue Nov  9 13:34:27 CET 2004

I am running Freebsd on a laptop (Compaq Evo N800c).
I have a winnt partition (8GB)
I have a ufs partition (11GB)

I have ******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=38760 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=38760 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
    start 63, size 16374897 (7995 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 16374960, size 22695120 (11081 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
        end: cyl 1023/ head 15/ sector 63

my problem is that /usr is getting full.
Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s2a    507630  362568 104452    78%    /
devfs               1       1      0   100%    /dev
/dev/ad0s2f   3966294 2783584 865408    76%    /home
/dev/ad0s2e   4737646 4222964 135672    97%    /usr
/dev/ad0s2d   1012974   55104 876834     6%    /var

I could scratch the winnt partition because I can do most of my work now with 
FreeBSD, I still need java/openoffice though, but therfore I need some free 
space first.

Is there a way to use the free space from the "scratched-winnt" partition to 
increase the /usr size ?

Kind regards,

Marc Plumet.
