No. You can choose a Custom installation and put Logos where you want. To separate Resources after installation you have to rely on symbolic links to divert the location to another folder/drive e.g. see http://wiki.logos.com/Install_in_different_folder_or_drive (Windows only)

It would be very helpful to at least install Logos for Mac on an external drive

Logos libraries can be 100GB+ which can be too large for base storage on Mac devices.
Apple internal storage is very expensive and cannot be upgraded
Thunderbolt connected external drives are much more affordable

It is technically possible but not supported as per https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/999-install-in-different-folder-or-drive?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=install#macOS
