Yes, that's pretty much all you should need to get started.
You might want to consider adding the REQUIRED keyword to the find_package()
command if the package is absolutely essential to compiling your entire
project. It should yield a far more useful error message if the package is
not found.
If you don't declare a package REQUIRED, a good rule of thumb is to use
conditionals keyed on the CMake module's found variable (e.g OPENGL_FOUND )
to control where you use it.

find_package(Foo)
if(FOO_FOUND)
include_directories(${FOO_INCLUDE_DIR})
endif()
