You could make this a feature request of course and this is no way up to 
me either way but I don't think it likely (at least not in the near future).
As far as I can tell there is currently no support for XSLT or XPath 
within CMake itself or any of its currently used libraries.
expat (which I think is the parser library currently available within 
CMake) I assume has no support for this either.

Depending on the complexity of your modification configure_file() might 
suffice to generate XML files based on an XML template with simple 
variable substitutions?
Might also be feasible to limit this to a small portion of the XML file 
assuming that what ever consumes the files supports one of the XML 
include mechanisms.
