Two reasons I'd like to transfer to a 2.5 or 1 gallon keg: 1, in case I don't finish the keg within the 90 day limit, and 2, I go fishing quite often and would like to have tap beer rather than bottled.
Is it possible to transfer from one keg to another? If so, what would be the best way to do this?

The only way to transfer it to something else would be to pour it into a corny keg. Then you'd have to swap out your coupler for corny couplers. It's possible, but then you've poured the beer and exposed it to air, which means it's going to start to oxidize. If you can't finish the beer in 90 days, I see a few possible solutions. Keeping the beer isn't really one of them, because at 3 months, your beer is starting to go bad, anyways. They last 1 month in my house with me and the wife both drinking off of it.
1) drink more - two beers per day will have you finishing a keg in about 83 days. There are approximately 165 12oz servings in a keg.
2) Invite friend(s) over so you can enjoy your beer with them.
3) buy 1/4 barrels or 1/6 barrels, if possible.
