You can do it on the command line with fdisk, bsdlabel, and newfs. It is a bit 
easier to explain using sysinstall so, here is the sysinstall way:

#/stand/sysinstall
	Configure->Fdisk->(select the disk)->(select the unused slice)->T(to change 
type to FreeBSD)->W(to save the changes)...
	Label->choose the disk and start creating partitions->be sure to make the new 
slices for newfs
