I think this is usually faked with drag-under and drag-over effects. You add code to the things you can drag to so they spot when something is over them and do some sort of animation, and you attach some sort of animated thing to the cursor, so it looks like something is being dragged. When the user finally does the drop, you then do all the cutting, pasting and rebuilding.
