Isn't that how Stargates work?

The real question is what would happen if you tossed a normal size gate into an Ori supergate that were connected.

We know they CAN connect, since that's how they block the supergate from this side. And they never established whether a connected gate can move through space without losing a connection, just that you have to know where you are in space to dial out, and two gates can't activate when close together.

Didn't they establish that a ship has to stop to connect? Wasn't that a thing with Universe and the gate being ON the ship? So a gate can't be actively moving while connected, I think. My memory is a bit fuzzy. And I feel like there's still one time an exception is made, but it involves some one time use trickery.

Can't move portals.

Of course you can. They're on moon rock. There are a few puzzles with moving platforms with portals.
