'pdfposter' is a command-line tool that will scale up and print your
single-page poster as many smaller single sheet that you can stick
together:

I'm not sure of a GUI tool.  If you fancy getting your fingers dirty
you can simply change the "/MediaBox A B C D" numbers in the PDF file
(PDF is a text format, you can open it up and edit in a text editor).

If you just want to print the corner/part of a document the terms you
want of "PDF" and "crop", and you may be able to turn something
up.  (This would simply change the /MediaBox, but hopefully in an
interactive way).

Hope that helps,
