Yes. Submit a patch which implements tablespaces ;-)

Seriously, there is no way to avoid this in the case where you are
moving the files by hand. The suggestions for how to move files
around note this.

If this is merely a disk-size problem, why not move the entire
postgres installation to another disk, and make a link to it. If you
still need to spread things across disks, you can move things which
don't change in size very much. A good candidate here is the WAL
(pg_xlog), since it grows to a predictable size. You even get a
performance benefit.
