I dunno, maybe -d?
I thought I saw the option a couple of months ago when I ran mythfrontend --help, but:
[root]# mythfrontend --help


2009-11-24 14:36:41.700 mythfrontend version: trunk [22291] www.mythtv.org
Valid options are: 
-l or --logfile filename       Writes STDERR and STDOUT messages to filename
-r or --reset                  Resets frontend appearance settings and language
-display X-server              Create GUI on X-server, not localhost

                               Force the setting named 'KEY' to value 'VALUE'
                               This option may be repeated multiple times

                               File containing KEY=VALUE pairs for settings
                               Use a comma seperated list to return multiple values
-G or --get-setting KEY[,KEY2,etc] 
                               Returns the current database setting for 'KEY'
