This is what I would do:
1. set your login div width to auto.
2. Then, set the float property of your login div to left so that your content flows around it (style="width: auto; float:left".)
3. I would make your starboard side column div float right
4. I would make your Create an account (main) div float left also. This will keep it together.
5. I would set a margin of about 10px around your divs so they are not crowding.

Here's my result:

<div align="left" style="width:auto; float:left; margin:10px;">
<img src="top.jpg" /><br />
<div id="navcol">
<div align="center" style="border-right: 1px solid; border-top: 1px solid; border-left: 1px solid;
width: 220px; border-bottom: 1px solid">
