Nope.

The initial logon directory is always your logon group, i.e. /ACCOUNT/LGROUP.
But I suppose you could use logon UDCs to :CHDIR to whatever subdirectory you
wanted.  Except in the case of FTP users which don't execute logon UDCs.

And there is no chroot capability to restrict all file access to within a
specific directory tree.  Though MPE anonymous FTP simulates a chroot-ed
environment via restrictions imposed by the FTP server.
