Alex,
I'm not 100% sure what you want to do;
my assumption is your infra-structure creating a copy if some disks from Prod to PreProd?

In general, you can do this without any problem, the name of the path can be different on source and target system. - Of course the copy must be _consistent_
BUT you can have the same DISKGROUP only once per ASM(cluster). for this purpose Oracle provides renamedg in Version 11.2 - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmdiskgrps.htm#CHDJAGHE
