There's a flag "--settings" that can be passed into the viewer that
specifies the preferences filename to use. This is usually specified in
the shortcuts (Windows)/arguments.txt (MacOS) created used for viewers
in different distribution channels or test grids (e.g. "--settings
settings_aditi_beta.xml"). Depending on how your viewer is packaged or
how you're running it you may need to specify it manually.
It doesn't modify the cache location, though, and it uses the same
directories. So... that'd maybe solve half your problem.
