I don't think anybody has done that already successfully. But seriously, it 
shouldn't be too hard.

Please try the attached file, put it in the Modules/Platform/ directory of 
your cmake installation.
It's mostly what you had in your toolchain file.
You have to set CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME to "Symbian" then so this file is used.
I'd say we try to do this step by step, and once the Symbian.cmake file works 
for you (even if with hardcoded stuff), we'll make it generic.
This may require putting some stuff like compiler flags into a 
Symbian-GNU-C[XX].cmake.

You may also need to modify the cmake variables which contain the build 
commands (like CMAKE_C[XX]_LINK_EXECUTABLE etc.), we'll work this out.

Bye
Alex
