By default, CPack supports source tarball generation with "make 
source_package", and the generation can be customized in a variety of 
ways (e.g: generating a source package from a subdirectory with a custom 
target, etc).

There is no equivalent to "make distcheck", unless you roll your own 
(which certainly would be doable).
