Method 1
Yes. You have three main options:
Symlink ~/.bashrc,
mv ~/.bashrc ~/blah && ln -s ~/blah/.bashrc ~/.bashrc
source the new file from ~/.bashrc,
mv ~/.bashrc ~/blah && cat > ~/.bashrc << 'EOF' . ~/blah/.bashrc EOF
or launch bash with --rcfile.
mv ~/.bashrc ~/blah bash --rcfile ~/blah/.bashrc
