The authors of the KDE CMake code can choose whatever interface is 
desired.  For example, one could do

SET(kde_install_lib_dir /lib${kde_libsuffix})

and then the user could add

-Dkde_libsuffix:STRING=64

to the command line when calling CMake.  Other interfaces are possible 
also.  I suggest allowing the user to explicitly set the install location:

IF(NOT kde_install_lib_dir)
   SET(kde_install_lib_dir /lib)
ENDIF(NOT kde_install_lib_dir)

Then the user could put

-Dkde_install_lib_dir:STRING=/lib64

on the command line when calling CMake the first time.  That would add a 
cache entry allowing the option to be changed from the GUI later.
