Yes, but that file would only have user specific information such as your password in addition to the gloabl variables read from the gloab options file ... If you want to have server specific global variables in your my.cnf file in your directory, than you need to start mysqld with --defults-file option pointing to the my.cnf file in your home dir... See: http://www.mysql.com/doc/O/p/Option_files.html
