You could add it to the path, start Lazarus once, and then remove it 
again. Will that do?

On unices (Linux/Darwin) you can use the 'samplecfg' script to create a 
new configuration. (It wil also create a new fpc.cfg, so if you modified 
that one, be carefull. Samplecfg will create a backup, though.)

I actually don't know how to create the configuration files on Windows. 
(Except from letting Lazarus create them automatically based on the 
path, as described above. Or create them manually, or use fpcmkcfg... 
well... damn..)

There is another option: install the Lazarus fppkgpackagemanager 
package. Then select from the menu 'package' -> 'extra packages' -> 
'Show Fppkg Package Manager'. It will present a dialog to create the 
right configuration files.

Or, maybe, just wait for a better solution.
