The roof structure usually doesn't rely on any of the internal wall bracing to support the weight that is on the roof. The only issue I think you'll run into is spacing of the rafters and how the interior vertical wall is attached to the ceiling/roof structure. Chances are that the current location is along a roof rafter. Typically the rafters are spaced 16" on center. If you want to move the wall, say 12", the top of the new wall location won't be under a roof rafter, so you'll have to devise some method to attach the top of the vertical wall to something strong enough that it won't loosen over time and travel. The 1/8" luan ceiling panels aren't structural and don't have enough strength to support the top of the wall and without a rafter to secure it to, the first time you tow over a "bump in the road" or one of the kids is jumping around and "falls into the wall"... well, you get the idea.
If you can come up with a means to anchor the top of the wall in the new location, it shouldn't be a hard job to move. Hiding the holes in the old location will probably be the most difficult part....
