You can move VMs with some care, though this isn't formally supported. The trick is to replicate the ~/.VirtualBox directory and related files. If any paths change in the relocation, then you need to edit the various XML registry files to fix up the paths.

Moving a suspended machine is not recommended as the CPU could change and this would panic the guest.
