You can not do that this way, and there is some related (backloged)
feature request:

What you can currenlty do is:

define COMPONENT in your CMake install(...) statement,
then you can use:
DESTDIR=/whatever/path cmake -DCOMPONENT="Whatever" -P cmake_install.cmake

and this should install the concerned component using DESTDIR.

This is not exactly what you want because you may not want to define
one component per target but at least it can be workaround.
