Yep. Literally drag your library to the external drive and then hold OPTION next time you open iTunes to be able to choose this new location.

You can also select new location for iTunes library and then select consolidate library from menu bar.

This way works very well. I just did this to transfer my music from my MBP to a WD portable drive.
