Not at present, no.  It would be a neat feature to have but probably
challenging to implement.

Here is my CMakeLists.txt for a module (Windowing) :

One thing you could do is use macros which operate on "static" and/or
"dynamic" targets to make your code roughly half as long.  You can use the
IF(TARGET...) argument.

MACRO(SET_BOTH_TARGET_PROPERTIES _target)
   IF(TARGET ${_target}_dynamic)
      SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${_target}_dynamic ${ARGN})
   ENDIF()
   IF(TARGET ${_target}_static)
      SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${_target}_static ${ARGN})
   ENDIF()
ENDMACRO()

then simply call it once...

SET_BOTH_TARGET_PROPERTIES(Windowing PROPERTIES DEBUG_POSTFIX "d")
