Ouch. This would be a last resort, in my humble opinion. The best
places for /tmp and /var are on a separate partion(s). If one partion
is available then pointing /tmp to /var/tmp makes sense.

Then you should do:
# ln -s /usr/var /var

Just like this, in other words.
A small question, how did /var get so full?
