No, not with calibre portable. The ENV variable has no effect, and there is no CC option to move it.

However, you should be able to avoid the problem by making a link (a "junction") in the dropbox folder that points the cache somewhere outside dropbox. I just tried it and dropbox doesn't follow the junction. I didn't try it with calibre because I don't use portable.

Do note that if you move the cache outside of dropbox then connects using calibre portable on a different computer will upload all the metadata to refresh calibre's cache.
