My current install is over a decade old. My /boot partition is about 375MBs. I should have made it larger but at the time, I booted CD/DVD media when needed. I didn't have USB sticks at the time. This time, I plan to make some changes. If I put Knoppix and/or Gentoo LiveGUI in /boot, it will be larger. Much larger. Mark's idea is best tho. If I can get Grub to work and boot it.
If you dd your boot partition across, you can copy it into a larger partition on the new drive, and then just expand the filesystem.
So changing partition sizes isn't a problem if you want to just copy your system drive onto a new disk.
