AFAIK this is currently not possible.
And actually I'd also think it may not be a really good idea.
Why do you want to have a different directory structure when installing your 
package as RPM, instead of e.g. TGZ ?
If it works for TGZ, it works for RPM too.

What you could do is to add a cmake option 
INSTALL_WITH_OTHER_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE, and depending on this set the install 
directory variables (you should use variables for the destinations then) and 
the supported package formats accordingly.
This would mean you need (at least) two buildtrees, one for one dir structure, 
one for the other.
