if you mean:
a. archive as in "archive_command"
b. database as in one of databases in given pg installation
then no, you can't. wal is shared across all databases in cluster
(installation).

You can move wal, and then symlink pg_xlog directory, sure.
You can't have wal for different databases go to different directories.

First - why do you think it would be improvement?

User accounts are shared across all databases in cluster. Why not use
separate accounts, then?

Also, while I'm asking - why do you want to move wal to another
location?
