Can you share a bit more context? I suspect there may be no single correct answer, as it depends on your situation what the best way is. If you are using a toolchain file you will have to put the decision of using that file outside of your cmake file. You can also opt to put a check inside your cmake file and set compiler flags (-m32 / -m64) accordingly. Using a toolchain file is more flexible when releasing a project, but autoconfiguring is nice when running builds on buildservers through ctest scripts.
