Yes. Specify (using Donald's example dsname) SYS1.HFS.ROOT..&SYSR1 in BPXPRMxx. I took it a step farther and specified my DDDEFs as /service/RES002/yadayada and set up automount to manage the /service mount point. That way, I always had the correct HFS mounted when I applied maintenance, and always mounted the correct root HFS at IPL time.
There is more about this in the archives.
