You can make a new partition and move part of your existing /usr heirarchy under it, ie /usr/home, /usr/local, and so forth, and make symlinks to the new locations. > If not, please suggest alternate ways for FreeBSD to utilize the extra > 200mb. You'll have to use FIPS to split that 200mb off into a new slice, then delete it, make a FreeBSD slice, disklabel, and mount it. I will send you the long-way make disk info I have, it details how to wrangle with fdisk. I haven't done this personally, so use what you can and ask if you have questions.
