I just installed a new iPhone SDK, and for the first time ever

Then I see that it installed effectively a whole new /Developer
hierarchy. It kinda bugs me that I have a devtools hierarchy inside
another, so I'm wondering if I can re-organize the /Developer folder
like a framework:
/Developer
/version1
/version2
Current --> version2
Will this break anything? Can I just move them around in the Finder
safely (I'll still make the link using ln -s)?
(1) If you've installed in /Developer, you shouldn't take any of its
contents -- say, Xcode.app -- out of its original location and put it
somewhere else within /Developer. That will break things. I don't know
if that's what your above description implied, but I figured I'd make
that clear.
(2) If you intend to use /Developer as an über-directory, and install
your different relocatable DT directories in sub-directories under /
Developer, I would say -- don't. For one, /Developer is the default
installation location, so you may some day wind up installing there by
mistake. For two, it's where some stuff goes (like CHUD) regardless of
where you choose to put the relocatable stuff.
Make another top-level directory, like /Xcodes/, and put your
relocatable {Developer} directories in there, to avoid confusion.
That's what I do.
