You can use a swapfile rather than a swap partition; there's a slight
performance hit, but it can be useful if repartitioning is inconvenient.
To create a 64M swapfile under /var, try something along the lines of:

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/local/SWAP1 bs=1k count=$((64*1024))
    chown root.root /var/local/SWAP1
    chmod 0600 /var/local/SWAP1
    mkswap /var/local/SWAP1
    swapon /var/local/SWAP1

You'll probably also want to mention /var/local/SWAP1 in your /etc/fstab
so that it's activated each time you boot.

Good luck,
