Partition Magic also needs to understand the underlying filesystem, not just the partition table, as almost any operation aside from expanding a single partition on a disk with only one partition plus unused space would result in actually moving data around.. PM 8.0 (should be the latest I believe) can't touch Linux ReiserFS, so I'd be highly surprised if it understood UFS2.

If it IS (notwithstanding your creation of a /home partition), that
would explain why you have only 69M in /home but 3.9G in /usr.
One of the suggested setups is to provide home with its own partition. And even though you don't use it it is not so uncommon.
The two partitions appear to be adjacent. If they are, Partition Magic
(or similar) could merge those two partitions non-destructively, and
your problem would be solved.
This sounds like a disaster --- partition magic works with MS partitions or in FBSD terms slices -- to the best I my knowledge it does not know about BSD style partitions.
I'd also be very surprised if it is able to merge BSD file systems non-destructively.
