I copied it over and moved the original folder in /Applications/ to the trash (not yet deleting it), and then attempted to run it from its new location. While starting up, however, it warned me that no seednodes.fref file existed and as such it could not connect to the opennet. A quick glance into /Applications/ and I found that Freenet had recreated a folder there and was repopulating it with a number of files, all of which probably were not properly loaded from the new location.

Normally, Freenet works anywhere  (at least on Mac snow leopard).
For instance, I've got it on my hard disk, but localized in a encrypted 
sparse image bundle.
in fact, it is possible to take the whole folder containing it (after it 
has been shutted), putting it somewhere else, and start it again, and 
evrerything goes fine again.

The only thing then that has to be changed, is the path to it (for the 
commands), and also not to forget to indicate its new position to 
LittleSnitch…
