For that case we had defined the following xxx_INSTALL_DIR variables in 
FindKDE4Internals.cmake
      # on win32 the install dir is determined on runtime not install time
      # KDELIBS_INSTALL_DIR and QT_INSTALL_DIR are used in 
KDELibsDependencies.cmake to setup
      # kde install paths and library dependencies

May be by defining a kind of search/replace table, which could be used 
by the  target import file generation like

LIST (APPEND lookup_table "<search>=<replace>")

which means for the mentioned path

LIST (APPEND lookup_table "C:/root-unstable=\${QT_INSTALL_DIR}")

<command-for-creating-import-target-file>(.... ${lookup_table})
