Install command are "CMaket-time" commands, i.e. they run when CMake runs.
Cpack_Project_config_file may only contain CPack-time command because it
gets read when CPack runs.

If you want to include/exclude some part of your files/target in a specific
installer you should
**always** provide install command in your CMakeLists.txt but use the
COMPONENT argument
of this command.

Then use/override CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL in your Cpack_Project_config_file so
that
only the component you want are installed.

 see doc:
cpack  --help-variable CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL

So yes, COMPONENTized install should makes it possible.
