this seems to work and I guess I understand why it does, but I'm still 
wondering if the second parameter for set can be avoided.

NAME = $(subst /,_,$(1))

-----------------------------------
define SET
$(2)_$(1) := $$($(1))
endef

define FOO
CFLAGS := foo bar baz foo2
$(call SET,CFLAGS,$(NAME))
endef

$(eval $(call FOO,foo/bar))

all:
        @echo '$(foo_bar_CFLAGS)'
-----------------------------------
