That wouldn't be impossible. A more generic way to achieve what you did, one 
that doesn't require patching "client" CMake files (which I find unacceptable):

Store the customised settings in a file (I'd call it cmake.initcache) and call 
cmake as

%> cmake -C./cmake.initcache "$@"

This is an approach I follow with a more basic building workflow of my own, one 
where I keep localised/customised settings (CC/CXX, CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS 
etc) in a ./wconfigure.env file, which is parsed by wrappers to configure and 
cmake. It's not a usual approach for MacPorts, though.

R.
