I may be overlooking something, but the usual use-case for this with 
QMake is to either not clutter the source tree with buildfiles or to 
have different output directories for different build-configurations.

Neither of the two applies to CMake, it encourages to use out-of-source 
builds which means you don't get crap into your source tree. And also 
with CMake you can't have a builddir containing multiple output files 
frmo different configuration. As soon as you switch from release to 
debug build everything gets rebuild anyway.

So, I think the answer to your question is: no thats not possible with 
CMake, but its also not needed.
