Does anyone know of a way to cause Netscape to look for the bookmark.htm file in a different location than in the netscape\users\username folder?

The manual way:
Edit your bookmarks (CTRL-B). Click on "File", "Open Bookmarks File", then choose the new .htm file you would like to use instead.

Technical way:
The information is stored in a JavaScript file called "prefs.js" in the same folder as your bookmarks.hrm is normally kept. Edit it with notepad. There is a line that looks like this:

user_pref("browser.bookmark_location", "c:\\blah\\blah\\bookmark.htm");

Change the path to whatever you want, just keep in mind that each back-slash needs to be represented by two back-slashes in JavaScript.
