You could use apropos-value to list all variables which refer to
.emacs.d and then modify those from command line using --eval (although
sometimes that directory is hardcoded, e.g. in startup.el as a fallback
value). In particular, user-emacs-directory is of interest, and I'd
trying changing it, then run apropos-value to see what remains.
