Right now, the only way is to symlink individual database directories
(or the table/index/frm files) from where MySQL thinks they should be
to the various locations you want them to be.
If MySQL wants to put the "foobar" database in
/home/mysql/data/foobar
and you want it in
/var/blah/data/foobar
you'll need to run
ln -s /var/blah/data/foobar /home/mysql/data/foobar
MySQL respects the symlinks just fine.
