You could try looking in $PREFIX/lib/mozilla/mozilla. It's a Bourne shell script. Look for the moz_pis_startstop_scripts function. It looks like there's a way to put S* start scripts in ~/.mozilla/init.d which get sourced (look for the . "${curr_pis}"). You could override the MOZ_PIS* env vars that get exported there to point to an alternate .moz dir. That might get you what you want if the binary obeys those vars (I haven't searched the source). I haven't tried it, but give it a shot and report back on details and success or failure.
