I tried it over the weekend.
Extremely cool.

Here's the doc:

git clone kde:superbuild
cd superbuild
cd kdesupport (or kdegraphics)
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/foo ..
make
make install

this will download and build all  kdesupport (or kdegraphics) 

I guess next steps are to provide SuperBuild-able CMakeLists.txt files for all the modules??
