Can I convert a foreground process to NOHUP ?

OS : AIX 6.1/Solaris 10

After I started running a shell script, I've realized that it will take another 5 hours to complete. Is there anyway I could convert this foreground process to run in nohup mode so that I can go home peacefully ?

I have the process ID

Code:
$ ps -ef | grep myschellscript_process
  nbkp_usr 3461298       1   0 17:17:54      -  1:03 myschellscript_process

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
