First off, your macro doesn't specify any source directory, which you 
must.  That's actually good, because then you can do:

%cmake <path>

And it keeps the macro usage the same as the command usage.

I think you have to support out of tree builds as many projects actually 
don't support in tree builds (specifically, paraview).  The question 
then becomes sub-dir or parallel-dir?

%build
cd ..
mkdir fedora
cd fedora
%cmake ../package-<ver>

or

%build
mkdir fedora
cd fedora
%cmake ..

I'm not really sure there is a difference, but I've seen both in 
instructions from packages using cmake.  I'll bring it up on the cmake 
list.  The latter seems easier for building RPMS, and possibly required 
due to filesystem collision (unless you do something like mkdir 
package-<ver>-fedora).

Also, paraview gets built twice with different options in different dirs.
