For sure you will be able to mount /var on your new disk....
but not before you boot single user and copy all the contents across manually and then modify /etc/fstab to reflect the new location of /var.
In my experience it is nigh-on impossible to *move* /var when a system is running.
Hint : next time use LVM *even* if you only have 1 physical disk to start with. It makes this sort of situation an non-event.
Cheers.
