Yes, you can use any SATA drive with any SATA port. The drive and the port will negotiate the fastest speed that is supported by both.
Don't worry performance - your drive will perform just as well even using the slower port. Hard drive transfer rates are limited by the mechanics of the drive, not by the connection speed. There aren't any hard drives today that go faster than 3Gbit/sec (in fact there are almost none that can even go faster than 1.5Gbit/sec).
