I think you'd need to install a new instance of XBMC as the mySQL db settings is read in advancedsettings.xml which is a global settings file.
To make it easy you could set up a portable install of XBMC for when you are on the road. Just install XBMC as usual but before you start XBMC add the -p argument (e.g. if on windows change the shortcut to "c:\program files\XBMC\xbmc.exe -p"). This will create the user data folder in the app directory rather than in the user appdata directory
EDIT: Actually I'm not so sure about the advancedsettings.xml being global when you have multiple profiles. If its not working with a different advancedsettings.xml in the separate profile userdata you would need to check the log to see if it is reading the separate advancedsettings.xml. In any event setting up a portable mode install would sort out the problem.
