If you need to install single component (not group), then you can write simple 
custom target, which invokes CMake in command mode (look how "install" target 
implemented in Makefile).

I came to conclusion that only CPack can install multiple components. See my 
last comments in http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=6835 about 
installing arbitrary set of components in CPack. (this is kind of hack in 
CPack to include in "ALL" target only necessary components).

You can write custom make targets which make simple tgz or zip package with 
CPack and then unpack it.
