When you install a game, you can chose where to install it as one of the steps. By default, this is set to ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps or C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Steam\SteamApps. You can set a different location, creating a new library in that location (will create a folder called something like SteamApps). From there, you can either then select that Library to install, and you can drag manifest and Application Data from common.

In this Dropdown, there will also be something like Create new library on drive x
