That worked beautifully. The start position (or what the first number is) changed, but everything seems to work.
Now it looks like this:
root@kg-ibook# gpart show ada0
=> 18 117210222 ada0 APM (55G)
18 262190 - free - (128M)
262208 52626616 2 apple-hfs (25G)
52888824 1600 1 apple-boot (800k)
52890424 29358528 3 freebsd-ufs (14G)
82248952 34961288 - free - (16G)
And gpart list:
