Will the 1G disk remain in the same system? If so, you could just leave the stuff on the 1G disk where it is and mount the 2G drive as /usr (for example). If this is not to your liking (possibly because you want to sell the 1G drive or put it into another system), temporarily put the 1G and 2G disks onto the same system. Setup the 2G disk (partitions, newfs, etc.). Then build a giant tarball of the first system and detar it onto the second disk...
