Easy...near the end of farmconfig.php:

    ## use the wikifield's local/config.php
    include_once('local/config.php');

    ## change $LocalDir for the per-group/per-page customizations
    ## (they will appear in /soft/pmwiki/local/Group.PageName.php)
    $LocalDir = '/soft/pmwiki/local';

In fact, it's even possible to get PmWiki to load per-group
and per-page customizations from multiple directories:

    ## use the wikifield's local/config.php
    include_once('local/config.php');

    $pagename = ResolvePageName($pagename);

    ## load the wikifield's per-page customizations
    $LocalDir = 'local';
    include("$FarmD/scripts/pgcust.php");

    ## load shared per-page customizations for the entire farm
    $LocalDir = '/soft/pmwiki/local';
    include("$FarmD/scripts/pgcust.php");

(Note the use of "include" here instead of "include_once".)
