dump and restore are your friends.
Try something like this for each new slice (partition):
Create your new slice on the new disk.
newfs the new slice - newfs -U /dev/[new_slice]
mount the new slices - mount /dev/[new_slice] /mnt
dump and restore from the old slice to the new slice -
dump -L -0 -f- /[old_slice] | (cd /mnt; restore -r -v -f-)
If you want to ensure that the system is quiescent before doing the copy,
you should actually boot from an alternative media and do the copy using
those utilities. I actually needed to do this for Windows XP and I was too
cheap to pay for any of the commercial software, so I used g4u:

It's based on NetBSD and worked great for my Windows PC. I was cloning
from a smaller to larger HD, so I had to use another utility to extend the
partitions without formatting.
Good luck,
