Sure, it can happen. Take a regular, mapmove 2 mage and cast Decay on him, or use Burden of Time to age the whole world, and he will keep his Mapmove 2 even when he gets old. In fact, you could have an Old Age mage with mapmove 3 if he was undead (undead aren't old until 1000 years IIRC).

However, I think all of the old age mages in the game also have mapmove 1 because it's thematic and logical, just like all of the mounted units are given higher-than-normal base encumbrance because riding a mount is fatiguing.
