No problem. You can change all related paths in your .my.cnf file. Even
better if you can compile MySQL and give command "configure" with flag
"prefix=/usr/local/WWW/www.mydomain.com/mysql" to it, then MySQL will
use all directories relative to this point.
Because there is a more MySQL-s mabye running on same server, you can
start server using "--skip-networking" flag. Then you still can use
MySQL over socket ni your home directory.
Only thing you cannot do without root access is having MySQL started
when machine get rebooted.
