Yes, you should be able to do this, so long as the new host will see the 
hardware OK and is a Storage Node.

To get the tapes back, an inventory will need to be done after re-configuring 
the library.  IIRC, it will be something like 'nsrjb -HE' then 'nsrjb -HI' to 
get things rolling (plus arguments for the jukebox name, since you have 
several).

The only big gotcha I can think of is to make sure the library name is the same 
during the re-add.  Also, any custom work you are doing involving the 
'location' field (mmlocate) will need to be re-checked after the move.
