Sure.  In Nautilus, find the folder where the photos are now located, 
drag it into Shotwell and choose the option to import in place.  
Shotwell will recognize that the photos are now at the new location and 
will restore them from the Missing Files view.  All your tags and edits 
will be preserved.
