I think multiple location is already supported just call

install (TARGETS foo DESTINATION loc1)
install (TARGETS foo DESTINATION loc2)
install (TARGETS foo DESTINATION loc3)
etc...

now concerning renaming without building the same target several times?
May be with add_custom_command

add_custom_command(TARGET foo
                                   POST_BUILD
                                   COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
foo ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/foo_renamed)

+
install(FILES ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/foo_renamed DESTINATION loc2)


this may not really solves the problem because install(FILES djfldfj)
won't make what install(TARGETS do like rpath handling etc....

a working (but ugly solution) would be to built the target as many
time as you need to with the needed different name each time.
