There's a cmake man page.

For more documentation head over to the cmake site:
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html

Intro:
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/WritingCMakeLists.html

Also check out the other articles, and don't forget the wiki:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake and the FAQ: 
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ

Writing an introduction for KDE developers is on my TODO, I plan to put it 
also in the cmake wiki (it's ok for the cmake devs).

This one is not completely correct for the current stuff, but you should get 
the idea: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1743
