Yes, but I don't recommend you do exactly that.
The FHS sets out what should go where on a Linux filesystem. That standard
recommends /srv/ for files that are to be served and that kind of thing.
Websites fall into this category.
It's quite handy to do that because /var/ is for data that change constantly.
Using /srv/ for webspace is cleaner when you consider that backup policies and
permissions or whatever else may be different between /var/ and /srv/.
Distros are not allowed to pre-install to /srv/ which is why it's not set up
like that by default. So I'd recommend you copy or move /var/www in into /srv/
first, and then change the DocumentRoot setting in your apache2.conf.
