Many GUI programs allow you to either start playing an engine from an arbitrary position or a named opening.
computer chess game with basic opening
I use SCID vs PC and it has that feature. But pretty much any GUI likely has the ability to play the position from an arbitrary position at least.
You can also find opening books that the computer will use to with most programs, You can develop your own and it will only use the moves you want it to use.
Also, here is an old thread about it:

And a Youtube video on using SCID for learning chess openings:
