as stated in http://www.gdal.org/gdal_building.html the GDAL build 
systems depends explicitely on GNUmake on unix platforms. FYI, the 
build rules, that are found mainly into files named GNUmakefile, 
contain a number of non-trivial use cases.

moreover, many branches of the gdal source tree are actually taken out 
more or less stright of different projects and have thier own build 
systems.

i don't personally know cmake, but i think porting GDAL to any 
homogeneous build system is a major task, and i advise for looking for 
other solutions first.

cheers,
alessandro
