Mitchell,

Actually both can be elsewhere, just put aliases for the files where 
iTunes / iPhoto expects them to be.

~/Users/userid/Music/iTunes where "iTunes" is an alias of the real 
iTunes folder elsewhere.

and

~/Users/userid/Pictures/iPhoto Library where "iPhoto Library" is an 
alias of the real iPhoto Library folder elsewhere.

I have 94.7Gb of music and 5Gb of photos on external drives that 
iTunes and iPhoto access quite happily via the two 4Kb aliases on the 
boot disk.
