You can't reduce the size of a ffs (filesystem), /home here.
Unless you destroy it and then re-create it.
And I can't think of an easy way (if any) to move the beginning of
an existing ffs system (that's what I think you want to do with
here with /usr).

What you can do is use the space freed after re-creating the /home
label / fs to create another label/fs that could hold,
for example, /usr/src.

If I were you, I'd just do backups (you got backups already, right?)
and reinstall properly.
