Leopard's Disk Utility can do some minor resizing, but it's not very  
flexible. The only thing I know of that will let you resize partitions  
on a Mac any way you want, non-destructively, is iPartition, which is  
not free, unfortunately, but it works very well (it's around $45  
IIRC). Currently you have to run it from Tiger, but it will safely  
resize Leopard-containing partitions and boot camp partitions, etc.  
They say they'll have a version that runs in Leopard soon.

Note: it doesn't work with SoftRAID.

I've heard tell of people using a Linux installer CD and parted, but  
can't vouch for its handling of Apple's partitioning scheme or HFS+...  
anybody actually tried it?
