Not directly, but as a workaround, you could write that into a file, and
then include the file.
i.e.:
file(WRITE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/tmp.cmake" "BAR_${FOO}(arg1 arg2)")
include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/tmp.cmake)
You may need to do some quoting and/or escaping to get things working
depending on how complex arg1 and arg2 are in reality.
This sort of "eval" functionality has been requested (and denied ;-) before:
