Do you mean the project templates for cmake projects which come with 
KDevelop ?
I didn't look after them for a long time...

There is no need for that.
You can just create a buildtree wherever you like and run cmake there:
src/$ mkdir build
src/$ cd build
src/build/$ cmake -GKDevelop3 ..
...

and project files cmake generates will work as expected.
