The short answer is no. Assuming you have enough space on another
partition somewhere, just mount that partition under /mnt. Copy all the
existing stuff on /local to it. (which should really be /usr/local, BTW).
Then erase the existing /local directory, and re-mount the new partition
under /local. Instant space. :)
