This isn't possible yet, but there is an open pull request for it. They are waiting for the author to sign the meteor contributor agreement before it can be accepted.

If you need it before it's official you can apply the patch yourself (or potentially just replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address you want to bind to in the same files references by the patch (app/lib/mongo_runner.js and app/meteor/run.js).
