I haven't used any config files, but do you mean these?
http://savannah.gnu.org/download/aspell/manual/user/4_Customizing.html#SECTION00512000000000000000
And running:
$ strace -e trace=open aspell -a
I see:
open("/usr/local/etc/aspell.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/home/moseley/.aspell.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
So it looks like it's trying to open those config files.
For example, say I specify a language:
$ cat .aspell.conf
lang fr
$ aspell -a
Error: No word lists can be found for the language "fr".
but changing it to "lang en" works.

I asked on the list one time, but I can't remeber what Kevin said about
the "default: <language-tag>".
Anyway, what exactly do you want to change?
