Maybe, but it's much less painful to actually mount things.

I'd go to single user mode, mount your old partitions read-only,
mount the new partitions somewhere (call it /new), and then:

pax -rw -pe -v /usr /var /new

(This assumes you've got /new/usr and /new/var mounted on the new
partitions. /new's a new directory off of your old / partition.)
