Well, one way would be to use Parted 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html).  Should come with most 
distros.  I think there several GUI interfaces to them (QtParted for 
example), but I'm not sure if you will be able to use them while resizing 
/usr.

Other options depend a bit on your disk layout and/or whether you have any 
empty (non-partitioned) disk space.  In which case the output of df would be 
useful, and possibly fdisk.

Cheers,

Rasjid.
