We already have
CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH
CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH

may be we are missing
CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH

or that
CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH set to true may be overriden
for the build tree with CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH to OFF

which is not the case currently (I did just checked).

more detail:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling
cmake --help-variable-list | grep RPATH
