No 410 at least, because 410 means:
“The requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known.”
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.4.11)
Note how it says “at the server”, which means that a forwarding address should necessarily be on another server.
So 410 seems not acceptable if the resource has changed URI but is still on the server.
404 is, however, more vague:
“The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI.”
Best,
Ruben
