Maybe. I remember a discussion where someone said that CMake generated project files (maybe) with absolute path's and such, so that it wasn't suited for this task. You should also leave the generation of the real project (or make) files to the end user. If we used CMake, then it should probably also replace autogen/configure as other open source projects did (I believe I read that it is becoming more and more the preferred tool). But I personally know too little about it to have an opinion about this right now...
