Put a filesystem on it (e.g. ext3), mount it under /mnt, cp -a or rsync (or even use mc) everything under /usr, then unmount it from /mnt and mount it as /usr. If it works, unmount it, change /etc/fstab, remove everything under /usr and reboot. Your main partition filesystem will now have additional free space equivalanet to the size of /usr. As for detailed instructions, its in one of the HOWTOs available as something like doc-linux-howto; I think multi-disk HOWTO.
