No, the target path can be modified using properties, you should read this :
http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Properties_Processing

The property for the target path is "maven.build.dir". But I do not
think it is a good idea to mov. Maven defines a default layout with
maven users are very familiar :
http://maven.apache.org/reference/dirlayout.html

With the system properties : maven -Dmaven.build.dir=myPath I didn't
test it but it should work.
