Ok, thanks, seems like I am starting to understand the essence of the question. I think that You should follow Andy's advice of putting workpiece coordinate origin (G54, G55 etc) in the center of the chuck instead of putting machine coordinate origin there. Especially, if You know, where the chuck is in machine coordinates, then setting the offsets should be fairly easy. When working on a part, it will make no difference, if You have moved only workpiece coordinate origin, or You will have moved machine coordinate origin and workpiece coordinates will match machine coordinates.
