For my big software project, I do exactly this. Compiling all my 3rd party libraries in a special directory and let cmake find it - no problems here, even if the libraries are already in the system (wxwidgets, plplot). So, it's definitely not a problem of cmake (at least not from the core), but maybe from the FindTCL.cmake module).

This is exactly what I'm doing with most of my projects and so far I had no problem with cmake, totally opposite, I was glad that it worked for 3 platforms practically out of the box.
