Yes, there is, call gpg with these options (or better, put them in
your gpg.conf):
--keyring <path_to_public_keyring>
--secret-keyring <path_to_secret_keyring>

And then you'll probably want to use this one as well:
--no-default-keyring

Detailed explanations about these options are given in the manpage.
