I guess this would work best if DrRacket were given a package (and it could infer the current package from the location of the file being edited).
So if someone wants to implement a function that, given a package spec and a renaming and then does the work, I'd be happy to try to integrate it into DrRacket proper. Also: "does the renaming" should mean rewrite the files on the disk and rewrite the files that are open in DrRacket and there is some interesting questions when the file is open and the save file isn't up to date. DrRacket can easily supply a list of text% objects that correspond to open files, however (and they can be queried to find out if they are saved or what their content is, etc).
