Of course. If it's brand-new you might want to just re-install; you can set
it up like that at install time. But if you don't way to do that, just use
"ln -s" to move things to where you have more space on the other drive.
For example, you might want to move /usr over there . . . just use fdisk to
divide up the other drive and the use newfs to make a file system and them
move some of your big stuff over there. For example, you might want to "mv"
/usr/local over there and then ln -s /overthere/usr/local /usr/local.

I recommend the "op" port over the "sudo" port. More flexibility and control,
and easier to use.
