No, that's not possible. But you only have to set it the first time you
run grass and it will remember it. (saves in ~/.grassrc6 as GISDBASE)

I imagine you could create a symlink:
  ln -s /mnt/harddrive_2 /home/helli/grassdata

and then use ~/grassdata/

or just mount the second hard drive directly there..

but putting the grassdata in another path isn't a big deal either.
