Looks pretty strange to me. To me this sounds just like what you would get if 
you had made a symlink:
$ tar -xvzf gromacs-4.6.1.tar.gz
$ mkdir build
$ cd gromacs-4.6.1
$ ln -s ../build .
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

Do you get the same error if you point cmake to the absolute path of the 
source directory instead of ".."?
