FW: Too much swap space...best way to take some of it away

Ok, I'm not totally a newbie but, I'm definitely no expert in FBSD. When I
was doing my original install, it was on a p100 w/ 32 megs of ram, so I gave
myself a 1 gig swap partition to help alleviate some of the server load.
Now, I have moved this install to a AMD K6/2 500MHz with 512 megs of RAM, so
I really don't need a 1 gig swap partition on only a 3 gig hard drive. What
is the best way to repartition this disk without having to reinstall? 
Here is my current disk structure:

Filesystem	1K-blocks	Used		Avail		Capacity
Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a	253678	54430		178954    	23%    	/
Devfs		1   	     	1     	0   		100%    	/dev
/dev/ad0s1e	253678	26  		233358	0%    	/tmp
/dev/ad0s1f	1284302 	688048 	493510 	58%  		/usr
/dev/ad0s1d	253678 	31542   	201842   	14%   	/var
Thanks in advance
