There are some places though (koan, templates, etc) that assume some

Different from Tom, I may want to move it to a subfolder, perhaps. If I
plan to use a webserver for virtual hosting, I will create a subfolder
within /var/www for each virtual host. eg:
/var/www/www.mydomain.com/
/var/www/www.yourdomain.com/
/var/www/personal.mydomain.com/
I think this would be less work and cause less issues than moving the
entire /var/www somewhere else, but are there still any 'gotchas' I should
be aware of?

That shouldn't be too difficult.
If you set "server" to (for example) bootserver.mydomain.com in
/var/lib/cobbler/settings and then "webdir" to
/var/www/bootserver.mydomain.com/cobbler things should work out fine.
That being said, it's not something I test, so if you encounter any
weirdness, let me know, and I'll fix it.
You will definitely have to modify /etc/httpd.d/cobbler.conf to modify
cobbler's Apache configuration -- though it's marked "config/noreplace"
in the RPM
so it shouldn't change in an upgrade once you get it the way you want.
The main thing is ensuring that the URL structure cobbler expects
("http://$server/cobbler/";) remains the same from http:// -- there
shouldn't be any hardcodes of "/var/www/cobbler" anywhere in the Python
code anymore -- and if you ever run across one, it's a bug.
Since the RPM will still want to own directory entries in
/var/www/cobbler make sure you copy the directory structure over to the
new location. You can see
that information by looking for "/var/www/cobbler" in the RPM spec
file. Or, you can do what Tom did and build your own patched RPM -- in
your case, I don't think you shouldn't have to do that -- but if you
want to, you can.
Those directories are:
%dir /var/log/cobbler
%dir /var/log/cobbler/kicklog
%dir /var/www/cobbler/
%dir /var/www/cobbler/localmirror
%dir /var/www/cobbler/kickstarts
%dir /var/www/cobbler/kickstarts_sys
%dir /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror
%dir /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror
%dir /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/config
%dir /var/www/cobbler/images
%dir /var/www/cobbler/distros
%dir /var/www/cobbler/profiles
%dir /var/www/cobbler/systems
%dir /var/www/cobbler/links
