Well, CMake does not, but there is a new tool that will be part of CMake called 
CPack.
It will work much like CMake, in that it will have generators for various 
native packaging tools.
It will be a beta release in CMake 2.4.   Currently, it can create nullsoft 
windows installers,
tar.gz files, and self extracting tar.gz files.
