I think you have the wrong idea what the config directory is. It is the user configuration, not the Geany configuration. Files like geany.conf and session.conf are the settings the user changes during editing, nothing to do with the installation of Geany. It has to be a writable directory, which it is unlikely to be if it is within a system install directory.

First let me repeat, Geany is not designed as a portable app, it uses absolute paths in many places and is just as likely to not work if it or its data is moved. That is pretty unlikely to change.

As I said you can move the config directory about, between machines with Geany installed, but it will need the files the user was editing to be in the same absolute path on the new machine for it to be very useful. Things like which drive letter a plugin device is assigned will break it.
