Yes, the COMPONENT argument has the purpose to be able to 
create "subpackages", like foo-dev.tar.gz etc.

Instead of "make install" you can call cmake -P cmake_install.cmake, which 
will do the same, or cmake -DCOMPONENT=Devel -P cmake_install.cmake to 
install only that component.
But I am not quite sure how this currently integrates with cpack.
