I search quickly about how sbt use Ivy, and it seems your use case is supported:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3142856/configure-sbts-ivy-cache-directory-per-user-or-system-wide
 But it seems thoses users have issues making it work.

I tried to find out how sbt use Ivy but I din't found the proper piece of code that \
would have enlightened me. I was trying to find a IvyVariableContainer implementation \
for SBT (there is IvyAntVariableContainer for Ant for instance). You probably want to \
ask on the sbt user mailing list about how to define that property.
