here's a hint..
most systems follow / with their swap region..

you can boot from fixit, or picoBSD floppy 
and use disklabel -e to exend the root partition
then you can use growfs to add the new space to your root fs.

Usually the 50MB that would make a bif difference to / won;t be really
missed from teh swap, and you can always add more swap spave using a
swapfile etc if it gets short.
