I'm pretty sure this goes with all UNIX O/S's. I know it goes with Solaris. If you wanted to make the 2 partition HDD into one you would have to backup the HDD.
I'm not to sure/can't remember but I think it may be able to expand one of your partitions but you'll lose any data on the 2nd partition as it'll be getting smaller. Larger I'm not 100% on but think it can be done (Correct if I'm worng).
See when you expand you changing the block count on the partition table. Now that can't over lap any other block count. So your best thing to do it backup the whole drive! Make just the 1 partition then reinstall and recover all your stuff.

The manual information at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html is good, but I am sure about how I mount the partition afterwards.

DISKTAB(5) BSD File Formats Manual DISKTAB(5)
NAME
disktab -- disk description file
SYNOPSIS
#include <disklabel.h>
DESCRIPTION
Disktab is a simple database which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initialize the disk label on
the disk. The format is patterned after the termcap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:'-separated fields.
The first field for each entry gives the names by which a disk's entry may be selected, separated by `|' characters. The last name given
should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The optional fields for each entry are:
