[gdal-dev] RFC 84: Migrating build systems to CMake

The main objective is to reach reasonable-enough feature parity, but 
that'll certainly be the oppurtunity to add new capabilities.

What you mention is something I've in mind, and cmake4gdal has already 
existing functions to control how/which drivers are built: 
https://github.com/miurahr/cmake4gdal/blob/master/helpers/GdalDriverHelper.cmake

It will certainly require some further tunings. There are also some 
complications like drivers that depend on other drivers, so it might not 
be practical for all drivers.
