I didn't try it, but please tell me which problem you mean.
Have a look at the sources.
The example above should be equivalent to 
INSTALL(TARGETS kdecore
                            RUNTIME DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
                            LIBRARY DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
                            ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${STATLIB_INSTALL_DIR})
