I think you may be able to Changing the Map: line in the depot spec might do something. You may need to do some magic involving taking the p4d down and moving files. Can someone with more knowledge of P4 internals verify this?

There's also always the possibility of just integrating from one place to the other. But getting rid of the old mapping is a pain. (Which is why we've stopped using depots for very much here.)
