This is not up-to-date, but should give you an idea, then when looking at 
other stuff in KDE svn you should be able to get it working:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:How_To_Build_KDE4_Software
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/CMake

I guess you don't have a KDE svn account ?
I'm not really sure what currently the best place for such things is, 
playground or extragear or something.
Check the KDE pages for how to get an account and send the patch to kdelibs 
(without the ioslave itself) here to k-c-d and let's see what comes out of 
this.

Not the final location, but the first location :-)

Why ?
