You can use --confdir:
puppetmasterd --verbose --confdir /home/user/puppet/
gepetto might help you setup a sandboxed local puppetmaster and client
http://github.com/albanpeignier/gepetto/tree/master
The other option here is to not run puppetd/puppetmasterd and just use
the puppet binary and some other way of distributing manifests and use
puppet executable to run them.
