i think this should be easy,
make the new partition copy the contenet of /usr to it
change your fstab to include the new modifications
i'm not sure how to delete the old one after it's mounted maybe mount
-o bind? or just boot a live cd and delete the content of your old
/usr from there when you restart it shoudl be working fine
