Just in case anyone is interested, here is my workaround:

   add_custom_target(bindist
     COMMAND ${CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM} package
     COMMAND tar czf ${FLAVOR_PACKAGE_NAME}.tar.gz -C 
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_CPack_Packages/${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}/TGZ 
${FLAVOR_PACKAGE_NAME}
     COMMAND rm 
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/_CPack_Packages/${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}/TGZ/${FLAVOR_PACKAGE_NAME}.tar.gz
   )
