Yes necesssary to port all module to cmake.

For the moment all kde module was converted to cmake.
But not all modules compiles fine with cmake.
For the moment kdelibs/kdebase/kdetoys compile completly with cmake (need some 
minor fix: generate documentation etc.)
Other modules have all support for cmake (koffice,kdevelop, kdeutils...)
Need to add new cmake file to check lib.

For me it's necessary to work again 1-2 months to finish it (need to fix 
compile with unsermake first after test compile with cmake)
