May be you can INSTALL(FILES ...) those externals?
And/or file a feature request for CPackRPM explaining how you want it to work
and may be how it is currently working for other CPack generator you use.

I thought CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES was for NSIS installer for adding
start menu entry:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackConfiguration

Is it used for something else?

This is a bug/missing feature, could you please file a bug report for CPackRPM?
You may off course provide a patch too :-)

Could you tell me which other CPack generator honors the
CPACK_INSTALL_DIRECTORIES ?

Because it's not necessary, if you set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
you will get the corresponding prefix in your RPM.

CPack [generic part] is already installing into
_CPack/<CPackGeneratorPrefix>/${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/....
and the RPM generator takes the ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/.... part.
