I use the following:

    IF (CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Visual Studio")
        SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES PREFIX "../")
        SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TargetName} PROPERTIES DEBUG_POSTFIX 
".debug")
    ENDIF(CMAKE_GENERATOR MATCHES "Visual Studio")

It's not perfect, but it backs the executable out a directory.
