Go to System Preferences > Accounts.
Unlock the padlock and type your admin password.
Right-click on the user account that you want to change.
Select "Advanced Options"

You will then be presented with a dialog that includes a field for where the User account is to be stored. You can change that from /Users/user to /Volumes/Second Drive/user.

You could also create symbolic links form ~/ to /volumes/myotherdrive/Users/Username

also the dscl command line has syntax for setting home directories.
