Pipes and commands that require two arguments

I'm stuck with this, so hope nobody will mind the fact that is isn't 
strictly a FreeBSD question.

I want to redirect the output of a command to mv(1) as the source file, 
and specify somehow a destination directory. Basically, I have to move 
several thousand files whose names match a number of patterns to a 
single directory.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

PWR.
