Yes, you can just create a symlink. Ie. if the files are in MyDocs/baseq3 you can open the terminal and type "ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/baseq3 .q3a/baseq3"

the game files should be put in /home/user/.q3a/baseq3
Since I don't want to screw with my partitioning, I use a script that swaps the Quake 3 pak data files with the data files from N.O.V.A.
When I want to play a game, the script will swap and chmod the files I need from /media/mmc1 to /home/user and swap out the game I'm not playing back to the SD card for safe keeping.
Not very elegant, but it works.

Any "fix" for this would involved repartitioning some space in MyDocs as ext2 or ext3.

Reboot your phone if you did everything right there should be no problems, then you can install games anywhere in there.

You'll also notice that if you copy files to/from a FAT32 partition and an ext2 partition it'll echo out a warning about being unable to preserve the file ownership.
the game files should be put in /home/user/.q3a/baseq3
