Yes you can CPackRPM is meant to do that:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#RPM_.28Unix_Only.29

The fastest path is to try:

$ cd /path/to/builddir
$ cpack -G RPM

However are you cross-compiling to arm or do you package natively on arm-linux ?

Yes see the doc:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#RPM_.28Unix_Only.29
and/or
cmake --help-module CPackRPM

This is usually a bad habitI am even surprised that you can post
without being on list.
You could subscribe to the list for the duration of your discussion
and then un-subscribe afterwards.
