Yes.

Nothing, but rabbit would not load anything from the old store - it
would start from a blank slate, so to speak. You could copy the contents
of /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/ to your new location and then rabbit should
happily load it all up once you've changed RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE
appropriately - there's no storage of absolute paths in there at all, so
it should Just Work.
