The Sampler Instruments folder itself can be an alias, or any file or 
folder therein can be an alias.  So you could have a folder "Sampler 
Instruments" on some other hard disk, and put an alias to that in the 
Logic application folder (instead of a real "Sampler Instruments" 
folder).  Or you could have folders like "EXS factory", "Xtreme 
Analog", etc, on some other hard disk, all containing EXS 
instruments, and you can then put aliasses to these folders in the 
Sampler Instruments Folder which is in the Logic application folder.

To quickly create an alias: in the Finder press Command-Option, and 
then drag the file or folder to the new destination: instead of 
moving the file, you'll create an alias.

I don't see why you would want to use aliasses though. 
EXS-instrument files are relatively small, so you might as well 
simply put them in the Sampler Instruments folder directly.  The 
samples themselves can go anywhere, like on a fast & big dedicated 
audio-drive.
