I'm somewhat confused by what you mean. In basic terms CMake is about creating 
libraries or executables. A library/executable will depend on all their listed 
source files and any other targets specified by target_link_libraries() or 
add_dependencies()

In the relevant source directory:
set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES FOO.ASM 
BAR.LST)

Hope this was helpful, if not, let me know and I'll try and explain better.
