Tar help in FreeBSD

I've got a 200MB file, var.tar in the /usr partition that I want to untar into my 300MB /var partition.

I can't copy the file there first and tar -xvf var.tar without running out of room.

What is the command to extract the files from the original directory to the destionation?


Thanks!
