Here's a quick synopsis. Use "man (command)" to help you with the 
details of each of these commands. You should be comfortable enough 
with NetBSD to know, "There's more to this than what I'm telling you."

1) disklabel and fdisk (to setup your partition)
2) mkdir /mnt/newhome (new empty directory for a mount point)
3) mount sd0 as /mnt/newhome (mount your newly formated partition to 
work on it)
4) cp /home to /mnt/newhome (copy the contents, don't move or remove it)
5) mv /home to /savedhome (to rename it, just in case)
6) mkdir /home (new empty directory for a mount point)
7) vi /etc/fstab to mount /dev/sd0x at mount point /home
8) reboot and check your new home directory
9) if anything goes wrong, you can always undo what you've done by 
restoring /savedhome back to /home)
