Yes.
CPackRPM required some CPACK_RPM_xxxx var def,
however most of them have default values.
The following command will give you the list:
$ cmake --help-module CPackRPM | grep -B 1 -A 1 "Mandatory : YES"

I do not know that setup and AFAIK CPackRPM has never been used
in a cross-compiling env. so like I said before give it a try and
tell me what happen.

Again CPackRPM has been tested in "native" environnement,
I don't know how it will behave in a chroot ARM Meego image.
Try it, and tell me what happen.

Seems awkward to me but OK, that's your choice :-]
