If there a ./configure switch (or config file/command line switch) to

There's no ./configure option, so you should change
DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR in ./src/include/pg_config_manual.h
If every client is linked (preferably dynamically) with libpq, which
is compiled with changed DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR, then this would work
with no special configuration.
Alternatively there's a command line switch -k or
unix_socket_directory config option for postgres server:

And PGHOST environment variable for clients:
