CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not used by CPack at least
not directly.

You may want to use:
CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX
or
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY

I don't think you can do that out-of-the-box.
But I do not know the PackageMaker generator.

Yes you want a "post-install" script.
With PackageMaker you have the
CPACK_PREFLIGHT_SCRIPT
CPACK_POSTFLIGHT_SCRIPT

which may be used to do that but I don't know how they works
and whether if they are "selectable" at install time.
