If not, when / is mounted as the first FS, how will the system even startup (if /bin is not on /, then the init program will not be found) or mount other filesystems (if /etc is not there then the fstab can't be read). Anyhow, if I were you, I would switch to LVM. It is very nice and conventient. Though, unless you have a way getting an image of your system to another machine (I recommend systemimager) it could be quite tricky.
