Yes, by creating a different config file. Look at session.conf, 
system.conf for examples, and the man page for dbus-daemon.

If you make it work like the system bus, you would specify a socket 
filename in the config file, so your address would use that.

If you make it work like the session bus, you would have the bus 
generate an address on startup, which means you need to have the bus 
print out the address and then you have to set it in an environment 
variable or otherwise communicate it to your app.
