Well, I can't really help you, but in bsd.cmake.mk there are CMAKE_ENV
and CMAKE_ARGS which can be set in your Makefile.

There are also numerous ports which set these values and maybe you can
look at some of them and figure it out.

I wasn't able to compile allegro with your Makefile (and no options)
because cmake complained that it couldn't satisfy -ljack, even though
I have /usr/local/lib/libjack.so.  I didn't pursue it.

I also noticed that allegro wants to use -l-pthread for threading, which
obviously can't work.
