Many of them.
all CPACK_BINARY_* may be removed.
all CPACK_SOURCE_* may be removed as well
(in fact they should contains the same values as their  CPACK_* equivalent).

Then depending on generator you use some others may be removed as well.
You can find the role of a particular var using:

cpack --help-variable CPACK_XXXX

if you encounter invalid documentation or undocumented variable
please file a bug report, the CPack doc is relatively new and may be
sparse.

Should work if it is not defined in the config file.
cpack -D CPACK_INSTALLED_DIRECTORIES="/path/to/source;/grafpoint"
--config CPackYourConfig.cmake
