Absolutely, yes.
The fretboard patterns I put as images at the bottom of the pages show fully movable shapes. Put any given shape on the fretboard and whatever note the circled 1 in on, that is the root note of the chord-inversion, and therefore how it is named. Like this:
E|----------|
B|-5--3--1--|
G|-6--4--2--|
D|-7--5--3--|
A|----------|
E|----------|
A G F
Make sense?
