There really hasn't been anything mentioned about what would would happen if you took a specific type of kakuhou and transplanted it in another part of the body. Unfortunately, the series hasn't gone enough into ghoul biology say what what would happen if that were hypothetically done. Sssooo...maybe? They've always been located in the back, so perhaps it's relevant it stays in that general area. Why though would be anyone's guess.
