Here a small scoop of links , might not answer all your questions (Logic Pro X) but ought to get you going :

Tips: Transfer all your Komplete products to a new Mac without reinstalling (not only Kontakt libs)

Moving a Native Instruments Product to Another Location on Your Computer

How to Change the Install Locations in Native Access (future installations)

Don’t put your plugins on the external drive though, it’s the content you need to transfer. Most of the NI libraries are sample based so they can go on an external drive but not the plugins themselves which should be in the system drive (ie Massive, Kontakt, Reaktor etc)
