Yes, there is. Maybe my previous sentence was not clear.
So to rephrase
If you're using the lastest templates for Xcode (some details here), you can enable C++11 support easily. Choose «C++11 with Clang and libc++».
When you create a new project with the latest templates for SFML, you can select a few options. To use C++11 in your project, select «C++11 with Clang and libc++» for «C++ Compiler and Standard Library». (Or, of course, you can change the settings of your current project to use clang and libc++.)
Regarding cmake, you should give it a try. It's not so difficult. ;-)
Here you can find the set of command that you'll need.
