can you actually relocate a curb opening inlet to a new location a couple of feet away?

Depends on how they do it.

In engineering and construction you can do anything, it all comes down to money.
But in your scenario, and you are literally talking a few feet, this shouldn't be more involved than excavating around the box, enlarging the opening in the box a bit, scooching it over, cutting the pipe, and bricking up around the pipe.
Now depending on your road grade, getting the hood to match the curb could be a little more involved.

It would seem the number, location and layout of existing pipes connected to the inlet would play a big part in the feasibility of relocation.
Don't get too academic with this. If you think the witchcraft we do in pipe design will be altered by moving a box literally a few feet I've got a bridge to sell you.
As I said in my earlier post, this is not a big deal, and occurs a lot more than you probably realize. Its just a box. If the grate ends up high, you trim the top of the box, if it ends up low, you brick it up.
