You can try to look in /var/opt to see if you can move some non-system stuff elsewhere and use simlinks, better still : I did this on one box...
Check (especially oracle...) what is /var/tmp if symbolic link forget about it if not, move its content to /tmp and create a symlink /var/tmp-->/tmp
Before check that no one has open files ( well if you are moving its less important...) and more important no one new is going to use it the time of the modification...

If you have oracle installed be sure you have enough space in /tmp (make it 1.5 GB to be safe and keep it 1GB free when using orainstaller...)

repartit

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME

       repartition - load a partition table

SYNOPSIS

       repartition device [partition-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Repartition  uploads  a new partition table for the partitions of device.  The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
       given, device otherwise.  Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload  a  partition
       or a subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
       are coming from partition-file.

EXAMPLES

       repartition /dev/hd0
       repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table

       Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
       latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The new table is printed on standard output.

FILES

       /dev/hd[0-9]

SEE ALSO

       hd(4), part(8).

BUGS

       The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
