You can run the game without the .minecraft folder it won't run as far as I know, what you can do is make backups of different setups and different mods and just switch thru them using bat file or manually renaming them so

.minecraft1 will have mods for server A
.minecraft2 will have all the mods for Server B
 
and .minecraft will be the current setup used and with settings setup to play on server C

I know Tekkit has some Launcher that would switch folders for you, but for the love of myself I haven't been able to install it and have no time finding out why.

That kind of problems mostly depends on code so there is no way that you can change something.
Not all mods have support for appData changes.
If they have in code typed /.minecraft/config/test/ you can only edit it by source.
But if not they will just hook into your typed appDir and work fine.
There is a way to pass over this problem by creating .bat starter file.
On this moment I don't have time to search for it in my files but it is in 100% possible because I've tried it.
(You got .test which from you gain resources, and config are too gained from there - only change is that you use start.bat which starts minecraft.jar or .exe)
