We use Puppet to manage the cassandra.yaml in a different location from the installation. Ours is in /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml
You can set the environment CASSANDRA_CONF (i believe it is. check the cassandra.in.sh) and the startup script will pick up this as the configuration file to use. With Puppet you can manage the list of seeds, set the IP addresses, etc dynamically. I even use it to set the initial tokens. It makes life a lot easier.
