I find it easiest to extend the Smarty class and set that stuff in the
constructor, e.g. in php4:

require_once 'Smarty.class.php';

class Template extends Smarty
{
	function Template()
	{
		//Call Smarty Constructor
		$this->Smarty();

		//Determine where the smarty files are -- slashes on both
sides
		$base_path = _LOCALPATH.'/some/path/';

		//Assign Smarty defaults -- trailing slash only
		$this->template_dir = _LOCALPATH.'/public_html/templates/';
		$this->compile_dir = $base_path.'templates_c/';
		$this->config_dir = $base_path.'configs/';
		$this->cache_dir = $base_path.'cache/';
		$this->plugins_dir = array(SMARTY_DIR.'/plugins',
$base_path.'plugins/');

		//cache settings, for when we do use caching
		$this->use_sub_dirs = 1; // enable cache subdirectories
		$this->cache_lifetime = 3600; // 60 minutes

		//caching turned off by default
		$this->caching = 0;

	}
}

Maybe there's a better way, but this works well for me.
