First, CGAL_DIR must be set to the *directory* where CGALConfig.cmake lies. 
So 
it is:

  cmake -DCGAL_DIR=/opt/local/lib/CGAL .


Second, it seems that your version of CMake is confused by the spaces in the 
name of your working directory. See the error log, it says: "Missing variable 
is: CMAKE_and_COMPILER". That "and" in the middle is certainly here because 
of 
the " and " in your $PWD. Rename that directory to "examples_and_tests".

By curiosity, what is your CMake version?

  cmake --version
