Yes theoretically there is.
But I never tried.

There is no such thing as "sub-component" with CPack you
define components and then you "group" them inside "Component Groups".

Have a look at the rule for component packaging
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack#Principles_of_CPack_Component_Packaging

you'll see that a group may have a "PARENT_GROUP".

However this has been written from what is written in "CPack.cmake"
documentation header
and I'm not sure that the "PARENT_GROUP" has been implemented or used.
