If you dare to compile yourself squid, it is very easy. After you
untar/gzip the squid distribution in a directory just do in that
directory:

./configure --prefix=/stuff
make && make install

and voila: you have squid installed in /stuff, if you want more free
space you can allways copy /usr/local in stuff and link it there and you
will gain its space in /. Mounting the whole /usr is a little more
tricky because you have to take care at the libraries and binarie needed
at boot time before mounting but it can be done.
