The default is to install in /Applications because that's where Mac apps go. 
It's pretty easy to add a symlink, eg..

sudo ln -s /Applications/Avogadro.app/Contents/MacOS/Avogadro 
/usr/local/bin/avogadro

If you want to change the location of the bundle, you'll need to look at 
CMakeLists.txt, e.g.

    set(CMAKE_BUNDLE_LOCATION "/Applications")
    set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/Applications/${CMAKE_BUNDLE_NAME}.app/Contents")

So you can set those when running cmake on Mac and you'll get it in a different 
location. I'll note that some Anaconda and MacPorts recipes will install things 
in /Applications too.
