In theory, yeah. Or they could just adjust course a hair and all of a sudden they're in the middle of a bulkhead. Would a navigator be able to receive an order and react in time in an approximate 5 second cycle to move the ship enough in order for it to be a viable tactic is a good question.
Then again, if you think of it, there's a really obvious solution to this: computer compensation. Unless we're talking 8472 ship, usually ships are pretty consistent in size throughout; a cursory scan could allow the computer to use the dimensions of the target ship as their reference, and any sudden movements would be instantly adjusted by the ship's computer. This would also make sense within context of the show, as the transporter becomes more and more sophisticated as time marches on and can do more things.
