You would have to move the entire Mailman $prefix directory and then
you would have to edit the prefix in all files that reference it
including Defaults.py and all the paths.py files in Mailman's bin/,
cron/ and tests/ directories and the MTA aliases and apache config,
and you would have to set the new location in whatever Apple launchd
processes that start Mailman and run Mailman's 'cron' jobs, and that
would probably tell the Apple processes where the new mm_cfg.py was
anyway.

It would be much easier to simply install Mailman from source in some
other location, move your lists and archives, update your MTA and
apache configs and tell Apple to quit running Mailman.
