You could kind of trick it. move the largest (one or more) sub-directory on the /usr partition to the new drive then simple mount /usr/large-directory to the new drive. that will at least work temporarily.

You can't grow UFS filesystems on FreeBSD. You might want to look at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/wishlist.html. It has the best info that I have seen about the topic. Snipped it reads: --- Expandable file systems An expandable volume isn't much use if the file system on it doesn't know about the additional space. Many people ask for expandable ufs. This isn't really a Vinum issue, but Vinum makes it interesting. Status: Some people are working on it. At the moment, there's nothing useful to show. --- I would say add a bigger drive or use Vinum to concat/raid/stripe a couple smaller ones together. That is what I do and it works great.
