Something along the lines:

cmake /home/mjansen/kde/trunk/src/KDE/kdelibs 
	-DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=' -Wl,-rpath-link,/kde/local/lib64 -Wl,-
rpath-link,/kde/trunk/support/lib64' 
	-DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS=' -Wl,-rpath-link,/kde/local/lib64 -Wl,-
rpath-link,/kde/trunk/support/lib64'
	 -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=' -Wl,-rpath-link,/kde/local/lib64 -Wl,-rpath-
link,/kde/trunk/support/lib64'
	-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE='1'
	 -DLIB_SUFFIX='64'
	 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='Debug'
	 -DCMAKE_CXXFLAGS='-Wall -pipe -O0'
	 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/kde/trunk/kde 2>&1

Small example :)
