merovingian cannot change these variables for each database started, it
would need to know that information.  However, it just uses the
monetdb5.conf file, which would allow you to do the following:

- make dbfarm and sql_logs point to some place in the filesystem where you
  want them
- create the database using monetdb create <database>
- move the created directories in dbfarm and sql_logs to the filesystem
  you want them
- create symlinks for the directories just moved

It's more a workaround, I admit, but it avoids making merovingian's
configuration very complex.  If you really prefer these locations to be
configurable, please file a feature request, as the monetdb tool could
in theory do things like setting properties for databases, which
merovingian uses during starting of the database.  I could imagine
something much like Solaris' zfs get/set commands and the properties
with inheritance and all for each (sub) filesystem.
In fact I very much like this idea, because it enables the advanced user
to do even more customisations while the defaults should be fine for the
average user.

The properties could just be stored in some .properties file in the 
dbfarm/dbname dir, and managed by the monetdb tool, honored on execution by 
merovingian.
