Well, basically all you have to do is port FindKDE4Internal.cmake in
kdelibs/cmake/modules to autotools. You may be able to leave out parts
(like macos or windows support).

Another option would be simply trying to find kde4-config and run it
fetching its --prefix, --exec-prefix and maybe other info and then try to
find libkdecore/libkdeui and friends based on that.
