	I have done something like this in Linux.  What I did was write down the cylinders of where each partition began and ended.  Once I had this I went and erased the appropriate partition, shaved of the amount of space I needed and reentered the partition info with the info from the new partition added.  I used fdisk to do this.  It seems like you would need to use disklabel.  I would back up all info before attempting just to be safe.
