Does not look like it does. I am not sure if this would be applicable
and how it would be done.

Are you sure the debug symbols are installed at all if you use it like that?

Unlike on other systems, Mac OS X (as of Leopard) stores debug symbols
in external directories called *.dSYM by default. So if you are just
using -g, I am not even sure this will change anything what gets installed.

The cmake port groups already adds a +debug variant. I don't know cmake
internals, so I cannot tell what this -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugFull will
actually do and which flags it will add to compiler calls.
