I do that all the time.    I avoid using nfs/smb type shares for data
directories, but any SAN or direct attach file system is fine.   I'll
either mount the dedicated data partition as /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data,
or I'll update the startup configuration to force the data dir to be in
another path, like /u01/pgsql/9.3/data
