I'm assuming you don't want to lose what's on your Mac partition. The
easiest way is to use a commercial MacOS partitioning program which
supports partition resizing. Resize the partition under MacOS to where
you want it, and leave the rest as free space. Then with mac-fdisk
under linux, create a new partition from the free space. Initialize
it with a linux filesystem, and edit your fstab to mount it where you
want (probably /home after copying the files from your current /home to it).
Without using a partitioner with resizing capability, you need to
wipe the partition completely (after copying what's on it somewhere
else), delete it and create a new smaller one for MacOS, then copy
the stuff back to it or else re-install the MacOS system from CD
and just copy your documents back.
