cd /usr/pkgsrc; pax -r -w -pe -v * /usr/test/
umount /usr/test; fsck -f /usr/test
cat /etc/fstab | sed "s/test/pkgsrc/" >/etc/fstab~; \
  mv /etc/fstab~ /etc/fstab
rm -r /usr/pkgsrc; mkdir /usr/pkgsrc; mount /usr/pkgsrc

or (safer)

cd /; tar --exclude work -cvf - /usr/pkgsrc | gzip -9 -c - > \
  pkgsrc.tar.gz
umount /usr/test
cat /etc/fstab | sed "s/test/pkgsrc/" >/etc/fstab~
mv /etc/fstab~ /etc/fstab
rm -r /usr/pkgsrc; mkdir /usr/pkgsrc; mount /usr/pkgsrc
tar -xzvpf pkgsrc.tar.gz
umount /usr/pkgsrc; fsck -f /usr/pkgsrc; mount /usr/pkgsrc

The variations are endless. Caveat Lector! Don't run any commands
unless you understand what they do.
