Not currently.  It is hard-coded here:

 https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmGeneratorTarget.cxx;hb=679a5d21#l2981

What is the use case for changing the framework extension?
Doing so breaks the basic layout defined in "man ld":

     -framework name[,suffix]
                 This option tells the linker to search for `name.frame-
                 work/name' the framework search path.  If the optional
                 suffix is specified the framework is first searched for
                 the name with the suffix and then without (e.g. look
                 for `name.framework/name_suffix' first, if not there
                 try `name.framework/name').
