The only way is making a DUMP to some other device (like USB) or to some
other machine in the network, boot from DVD an rescue system,
re-slice/re-size ad0s4 and RESTORE the dumps.

> P.S.: i want to take space from ad0s3

You may use the entire ad0s3 or slice it with sysinstall, make file
system(s) and mount them onto your existing system.
