I want to port some textures/materials to a different folder, but the textures are already being used by a project of mine. The textures are in a mod folder and I want to import them to a custom folder that will be in the map pk4 itself. Can I change the directories of these textures without having to reapply them?

Once you port the textures/materials to a new folder it will definitely break the links in your project.

No problem though, just do a find/replace of the materials. (under the Materials window, or hit Shift-F)

Simply enter the name of the old material into the Find field (or ALT-middle mouse the specific texture in the cam window). Then type in the name of the new materials into the Replace field. Hit Apply.

It won't break anything if you preserve the structure.

Case in point, if you have a folder like "C:\Doom3\base\textures\custom\mystuff\" with your images in it, you can safely move those images into a pk4 so long as the images are stored in "textures\custom\mystuff" inside the PK4.
