Yes you can copy/paste the
Modules/NSIS.template.in
in your own project and add
"RequestExecutionLevel user"
at the appropriate place in this file.

Then update CMAKE_MODULE_PATH in order to add your project specific path
to make CMake/CPack use your own copy of NSIS.template.in.

Note that may specifiying RequestExecutionLevel in NSIS is of general interest
so that it's worth a feature request for CPack NSIS.

May be you could add some comment about that on a related bug:
