cpack --help shows this as a possibility:

OSXX11                      = Mac OSX X11 bundle

So in your CPack code in your CMakeLists.txt file you would need to set something like this:

if (APPLE)

SET(CPACK_BINARY_OSXX11 "ON")

endif()

I know there is a bunch of other setup stuff that needs to be done. Take a look at <href="http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#OSXX11_.28OSX_only.29"> for more details on what you want to do.
