Yes you can be mount all direcorty in seprate.

just create new partition and mount.
for example:-

#mount /dev/sdx /home
after check df -kh

showing ur partition is mounted its temporary mounted if u want to permenent
mounting then go to fstab file put the entry in this way
/dev/sdx   /home  ext3    defaults   0 0

after u added entry in fstab file give this cmd for update for kernel

# mount -a
