Hi,

You might be able to make some use out of this:

INCLUDE(AddFileDependencies)
and then
ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/path/to/your/pdf 
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/path/to/your/gnuplot/output)

http://cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html says that signature for 
ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES is

 > ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES(source_file depend_files...)
 > Adds the given files as dependencies to source_file
