First of all, please don't top-post.

Second, questions like this would be best on freebsd-questions. 
-chat is really just for chatting. But in any case, you really need to
provide more details on what your actual problem is.

gpart(8) *exists* in 8.0. I haven't been on 8.x in quite a while, but I
can see that its manual says that gpart has been around since 7.0.

If you haven't tried it, you can do that. If it doesn't work in your
situation for some reason, fdisk(8) will still work as it always
did. It's not as friendly as gpart(8) for expanding filesystems, but it
can be done if you need, or let you set up another partition to mount
somewhere on your existing filesystems. Or depending on how you want to
use the space, sade(8) might be more helpful.

Good luck!
