Add an ESP yes, "move things around" no - nothing says the ESP has to be
at any particular place on the drive, or any particular partition number.
It is often partition index 1, and the partition occupying the lowest
block numbers, but that's just because it is usually the first one created.

An ESP could easily be at the tail end of the drive, or somewhere in the
middle, there can even be more than one of them on a drive.

ps: Martin, there was disklabel output in the OP's original message,
but it looked like the standard NetBSD kernel's invented label that
is generated when no actual label is on the drive.
