OK I see.

NSIS CPack generator use the following templates:

<CMAKE>/share/cmake-2.<x>/Modules/NSIS.InstallOptions.ini.in
<CMAKE>/share/cmake-2.<x>/Modules/NSIS.template.in

You may replace those template using you own template
which may contains more user-defined CMake variables
(in the appropriate section) which may be replaced by CMake.

If you add your template in your custom module Path
SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake)

it should work (not tested though :-)
