It's a three step process:

1 .- Create the new partition (you will need to resize another partition or buy a new hard disk)
2 .- Copy all your data from you home to the new partition
3 .- Mount your new partition as /home.

You will probably need some LiveCD for the first step (unless you are using a new HD).

Here is the how-to that I liked most from a quick google search:

Please, make a backup before working with partitions. BTW, doing it in a new install is way easier .
