Something that you can do is to create a new class "DraggableMarker"
that inherit of OpenLayers.Marker. This class will mainly handle 2
events: mouseup and mousedown:

 this.events.register('mousedown', this, this._markerDown);
 this.events.registerPriority('mouseup', this, this._markerUp);

After that, the mousedown function will activate the event "mousemove"
and the mouseup will disable it. And the mousemove handle will calculate
the new position and move the marker on the fly.

Hope this help.
