Did you try add
ADD_DEPENDENCIES(pdf GNUPLOTs)

at the end of your CMakeLists.txt

This should say that the 'pdf' target,
 [ the one defined by ADD_LATEX_DOCUMENT when
   not using MANGLE_TARGET_NAMES.
 ]

depends on your custom GNUPLOTs target.

I did not try it but I think that UseLATEX
enables you to specify images files using

IMAGES argument of the ADD_LATEX_DOCUMENT macros.
see:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMakeUserUseLATEX

I think that when you specify images files that are an output
of CUSTOM_TARGET  the target will be launched.
