I'd say > that it should be enough to just do a find_package(Trilinos). Perhaps I'm alone here, but I actually don't see this as being a "big" problem. For the environment variables, you can place them all in a bash script and source it during log in. For all of the Find_Package calls, they only matter whenever you have to re-run cmake. I don't know what Trilinos is, but for something that big, I presume it takes more time to compile it (during active development) than to run cmake to look through all those paths...
