No, it's not.
It is possible to set up the cmake files so that they support both, separate 
and all-in-one builds, but it's not trivial.
Even if done right, it makes the cmake code harder to understand.

So I recommend to make sure the separate repositories build cleanly separate, 
and use something like kdesrc-build, buildtool or superbuild 
(https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/superbuild) to build them together.
One downside of this is that it will take somewhat longer, since the separate 
cmake runs will at least partly check for the same stuff in all the separate 
builds, but I thinbk this is the price we have to pay for having separate 
repositories.
