I suppose I could have cmake try for the 10.4 sdk if it's available or use the default otherwise.  But since it's a requirement that it work on 10.4, I'd rather have it always build that way.

Then I'd suggest you wrap the build-process in a easy-to-use script, where you look for the 10.4 SDK and then call CMake with a cache-initializer script (-C option) to set the required options in the cache.
