You should not need the IF.
This should work:

 FIND_PATH(FREEGLUT_INCLUDE_DIR NAMES GL/freeglut.h PATHS ENV include 
${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
 FIND_LIBRARY(FREEGLUT_LIBRARY NAMES freeglut_static freeglut glut PATHS 
ENV lib)

See the documentation for FIND_PATH and FIND_LIBRARY:

http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html

(I have been told it is too long...  :-)  )
Most of the other paths you had cmake searches automatically.   Also, 
where is freeglut_static.lib on your machine?
Also, is GL/freeglut.h on your machine, and if so where is it?
