Do you have another disk you can move the database to?  It's not that
hard to tell MySQL to use a database from another disk.  The default is
/var/lib/mysql/

In an emergency basis, you might be able to clean up some space in some
of your other large directories.  For example, clean up /var/log and
/var/spool/up2date (the rpm and hdr files can be safely deleted - you
can always download them again if you need to).
