boot from a livecd,
mount / (on /mnt/gentoo) and new-var (on /mnt/new-var)
rsync dir contents

rsync -av /mnt/gentoo/var/ /mnt/new-var

edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new location of /var ... remove or backup the old /var/* ... reboot

- - note: the slashes on directory names are not accidental ... so no trailing slash on /mnt/new-var
