while the solution described by Richard is the only available
option for externally stored basis sets, there is another
(undocumented as of yet) option for built-in basis sets.

Let us consider the following sample:

 
 $basis gbasis=mini ndfunc=1 diffsp=.t. elneg(1)=7,8,9 $end

This is equivalent to:

 
 $basis gbasis=mini ndfunc=1 diffsp=.t. $end

for atomic numbers 7, 8, and 9 (i.e., for N, O, and F),
while for all other elements it is fully equivalent to:

 
 $basis gbasis=mini ndfunc=1 $end
