It is possible. I have grown Clematis from seed before now. Mind, what you actually get is a different matter. They are hybrids so you could get anything from a poor small flower to a new variety.
Best time to move is when they are dormant, but if you need to move them now, then dig up as much of the root ball as possible, replant deeper than the original soil level and water them in and keep watered until they are settled in.

They do self-seed, and if you need to move them, do it before the root balls get too big! I would pot them up individually - and then grow them on for a while before you plant them out, I think.
When you do plant them, make sure you plant them deeply, in prepared ground, with lots of home-made compost and chicken manure pellets mixeed in - Clems are greedy plants!
