You've got a couple of options.  You can mount it into a large
subdirectory of /usr, e.g. /usr/src.  Or, you can mount it somewhere
else, move some stuff out of /usr onto it, and keep legacy symlinks in
/usr pointing to the new location.

For -current or -stable systems, you can of course also be adventurous
and use the ccd driver to concatenate both disks into a single /usr
file system.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
