Absent some other constraint, yes (certain types of restraint will prevent using magic rituals, which will prevent spellcasting) -- 'cannot concentrate' has no effect on abilities that don't require you to do so. The blink spell doesn't address what goes with you; the teleport spell (presumably related) allows items up to heavy encumbrance, and says you 'can' take someone else, but doesn't address what happens if you exceed your encumbrance limit. The warp power also doesn't address the point specifically, but the Naked limitation implies that you can leave things behind.
