Yes. It "just" needs to be ported away from Qt. CMake itself uses STL and has 
its own cross platform helper classes. I think the biggest change would 
probably be QProcess.
That's the list of includes used in kde4automoc.cpp (it's really just one 
file):

#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <QtCore/QDateTime>
#include <QtCore/QDir>
#include <QtCore/QFile>
#include <QtCore/QFileInfo>
#include <QtCore/QHash>
#include <QtCore/QProcess>
#include <QtCore/QQueue>
#include <QtCore/QRegExp>
#include <QtCore/QStringList>
#include <QtCore/QTextStream>
#include <QtCore/QtDebug>

Matthias relicensed it already to BSD some time ago for that purpose.

Hmm, the attached archive doesn't really help me.
What I'd like to see is one complete (but maybe unbuilt) build tree with cmake 
with UseQt4.cmake, and one without UseQt4.cmake, so I can have a look what 
the differences are.
Or you post the compile commands for one file got both cases.
