You can pass arguments:

  cmake -DMYVAR=myval -P myscript.cmake

The -D options have to come before the -P option.

Since you might have to set several values it may be simpler to use
CONFIGURE_FILE to configure the script with the proper values already in
place:

# myscript.cmake.in
SET(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH "@LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH@")
...

# CMakeLists.txt
CONFIGURE_FILE(
  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/myscript.cmake.in
  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/myscript.cmake
  @ONLY IMMEDIATE
  )

What are you copying that needs LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH?  There may be
another way to accomplish your goal.
