find_program(CONFIG_EXECUTABLE NAMES my-config PATHS
${CONFIG_EXECUTABLE_PATH}  NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
Looks good, should work.

Alternately, must I simply set the path to the program using the
following command?

set(CONFIG_EXECUTABLE, ${CONFIG_EXECUTABLE_PATH}/my-config)
You can do that too.
You can also check via
if(EXISTS ...)

Thanks, Alex; at least for me, the second option (i.e. using the set command) appears to be more intuitive, so I will use that particular option when writing my script. It is interesting to know about the if(EXISTS ...) option as well.
