Is the variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX what you are looking for? Have a look at:
cmake --help-variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX

"make -n" works at least, and likewise e.g. "ctest -N" (n/N means dry-run I 
believe).  You could try "make install -n" at least to see where make is 
moving stuff. Unsure if cpack has something similar.
