There is nothing wrong with running sysinstall(8) on a live system. Can even be run remotely via ssh. Suggest you skip down to the (C)onfigure menu. Use (F)disk and (L)abel. Put your new partitions under /mnt/ or someplace separate from your running system filespace. Use (W)rite once you have things the way you desire. Then exit from sysinstall(8).
Double check your /etc/fstab after, as sysinstall usually updates it when new filesystems are created, else you may be surprised at the next boot. Also appends stuff at the tail of /etc/rc.conf.
The manpage says:
NOTES
The sysinstall utility is essentially nothing more than a monolithic C
program with the ability to write MBRs and disk labels ...
