I found the config['SMARTY_DATA'] variable in lib/main.inc.php.  I think
that was the pointer I was looking for, thank you :)

I have one follow up question if I may regarding this snippet of code:  
    if (isset($this->config['SMARTY_DATA'])) {
      $this->tpl->compile_dir  =
$this->config['SMARTY_DATA'].'/templates_c/';
      $this->tpl->cache_dir    = $this->config['SMARTY_DATA'].'/cache';

I do not find a cache directory in the expected location as I do a
templates_c directory.  Is that directory necessary and should I be
creating it?

Either way, presumably what I am doing is correct since everything so
far appears to be working.  For the benefit of others trying to puzzle
out a layman's interpretation of this:

edit the config file in the www folder of each site, and add the
following line (I put mine right above the INSTALL_ROOT variable):

$CONFIG['SMARTY_DATA'] = '/path/to/folder/where/templates_c/lives';

then put your templates_c folder in that directory.

thanks again Alessandro
