You really should *at least* use a version of CMake that came out after your compiler, since it needs to know compiler flags, etc, for that version.
And, since CMake will dumb itself down to the minimum required version in your CMake file, installing a new CMake, even system wide, is pretty safe.
You should *at least* install it locally.
It's easy (1-2 lines in many cases), and you'll find that 5 minutes of work will save you hundreds of lines and hours of CMakeLists.txt writing, and will be much easier to maintain in the long run.

[^1]: CMake 3.0 also removed several long deprecated features from very old versions of CMake and make one very tiny backwards incompatible change to syntax related to square brackets, so this is not entirely fair; there might be some very, very old CMake files that would stop working with 3.
