My /home is a link to /usr/home.  Isn't yours?
If it IS (notwithstanding your creation of a /home partition), that 
would explain why you have only 69M in /home but 3.9G in /usr.

The two partitions appear to be adjacent.  If they are, Partition Magic 
(or similar) could merge those two partitions non-destructively, and 
your problem would be solved.

BTW, on my system, I have separate partitions for /usr/local and /usr.  
That seems to even the disk space usage quite well.

/dev/ad2s1a   394M   249M   113M    69%    /
/dev/ad2s1f   6.9G   2.7G   3.6G    43%    /usr
/dev/ad2s1e   246M   191M    35M    84%    /var
/dev/ad2s1g   6.9G   4.8G   1.5G    76%    /usr/local

HTH
