Simply put, I don't know of any apps offhand that need to be in a
hardcoded (non-relative) directory layout. But some use environment
variables (and/or settings in DJGPP.ENV). So check FDAUTO.BAT as well
as DJGPP.ENV in case something might potentially break.

Although, to be honest, it's easier to keep all DJGPP tools in the
same (sub)directory since it simplifies upgrades: e.g. (from Bash)
"cd /dev/env/DJDIR ; rm @manifest/grep253b.mft ; unzip /dev/c/tmp/
grep254b.zip". If you move stuff around, you'll have to search for it
and update it even more manually than already. But the "which" command
should find stuff on your path for you anyways if necessary.

In short, do what you want, but if you stray too far, be sure you kept
all the .ZIPs for reinstall !!   ;-)
