AFAIK no, but you can add directories using the -I flag.

  aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal

should work.  If you use autoreconf, you can use the environment
variable $ACLOCAL (but note that the first -I flag is special, so
if your toplevel Makefile.am contains ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, that may make a
difference).

It's in the file aclocal.in.
