Please have a look at the FindBoost.cmake module documentation, you probably 
want to use it.
I haven't used Boost with cmake yet, but it should be more or less the same as 
for other packages:

# make cmake search for the package:
find_package(Foo REQUIRED)

# add the include directories:
include_directories(${FOO_INCLUDE_DIRS})

# add targets etc.
add_executable(hello main.cpp)

# link to the necessary libraries
target_link_libraries(hello ${FOO_LIBRARIES})
