I tried with recent kdelibs source and are only able to install to
another location with the following changes

_set_fancy(SHARE_INSTALL_PREFIX ./share              "Base directory for
files which go to share/")
_set_fancy(EXEC_INSTALL_PREFIX  .                    "Base directory for
executables and libraries")
....

_set_fancy(INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR     
"${EXEC_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include"      "The subdirectory to the header
prefix")


The resulting cmake_install.cmake looks like
....

FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./lib" TYPE
STATIC_LIBRARY OPTIONAL FILES
"D:/daten/kdelibs-mingw-build/bin/libkdecore.dll.a")
FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./lib" TYPE
SHARED_LIBRARY FILES "D:/daten/kdelibs-mingw-build/bin/libkdecore.dll")
FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./bin" TYPE EXECUTABLE
FILES "D:/daten/kdelibs-mingw-build/bin/kde4-config.exe")
FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./lib/kde4" TYPE
MODULE FILES "D:/daten/kdelibs-mingw-build/bin/ktranscript.dll")
FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./share/locale" TYPE
FILE FILES "D:/daten/kdelibs-mingw-build/kdecore/all_languages")
FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./share/config" TYPE
FILE FILES "D:/daten/kdelibs/kdecore/kdebug.areas")
FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/./share/config

which works so far.  Please note the additional './', which let me
assume that at least on win32 only pathes relative to the installation
root should be used

_set_fancy(EXEC_INSTALL_PREFIX     ""                   "Base directory
for executables and libraries")
_set_fancy(SHARE_INSTALL_PREFIX "share"            "Base directory for
files which go to share/")

_set_fancy(BIN_INSTALL_DIR         "bin"           "")
_set_fancy(SBIN_INSTALL_DIR       "sbin"         "")
_set_fancy(LIB_INSTALL_DIR          "lib${LIB_SUFFIX}" "")

_set_fancy(LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR      "${BIN_INSTALL_DIR}"      "")
_set_fancy(PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR       "${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}/kde4" "")

_set_fancy(INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR      "include"      "")

just my 2 cent
