I usually use.

 mkdir /mnt_l/vartmp
 mount /dev/wd0g /mnt_l/vartmp
 tar -cf - -C /var | tar -xpf - -C /vartmp

For some jobs you may need to be booted single user
then you'll find you don't have a usable editor :-)

 
then edit /etc/fstab to use the different partition

/dev/wd0g       /var  ffs   rw,log    1 2

 
and yes I see different partition types.


eg. 
 srwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  0 Jun 29 08:51 rpcbind.sock
