That's easy.  Mount the hard drive as, say, /mnt/newusr, then cd to it
and 'cp -a /usr/* .' (-a is archive, which retains as many of the
original attributes as it possibly can, ie. symlinks, etc).
Then, simply add it to fstab and reboot to test.
Don't delete /usr off your old hard drive until you've rebooted to test
whether or not the new drive is working right.
To get rid of the old usr, unmount the new drive, cd to /usr and rm -rf
