My current solution is to build OpenCV 3.0 from source and then install it into a location that is not on any paths. Then in the package

# don't use opencv as found by any prior running of find_package
unset(OpenCV_CONFIG_PATH CACHE)
unset(OpenCV_DIR CACHE)

set(TMP_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH})
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "$ENV{HOME}/special/install")
find_package(OpenCV 3.0 REQUIRED)

# restore CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and other cached variables
# so nothing other package finds this opencv
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${TMP_PREFIX_PATH})

unset(OpenCV_CONFIG_PATH CACHE)
unset(OpenCV_DIR CACHE)

...

include_directories(
  include
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
  ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

target_link_libraries(foo_node
  ${catkin_LIBRARIES}
  ${OpenCV_LIBS}
)
