You won't be able to modify the upload_tmp_dir option, as it's PHP_INI_SYSTEM. However, you can modify some of the other options in most cases. I'm not certain about their configuration, but does DreamHost have AllowOverrides turned on in their httpd.conf? If so, just place a full php.ini file in your root web directory (not just the line for uploads_tmp_dir, but an entire copy of the file). If their Apache and PHP configuration allows it, you'll be able to change several of the settings in that file. Those settings that you can update will be PHP_INI_PERDIR[1] and higher. KEY 1.)
