In general, yes, the first thing a ported application will do is replace the lines to search for kdelibs4 with lines to find KDE4Support (and other frameworks).

I agree that KDE4_CREATE_HTML_HANDBOOK should be removed (along with any other macro that didn't actually do anything in kdelibs4).  If KDE4_CREATE_HANDBOOK was a useful macro in kdelibs4, it should move to kde4support (and either be defined as it is here, or forward to KDOCTOOLS_CREATE_HANDBOOK).

I have no idea how the KDE4_SERIALIZE_TOOL thing is supposed to work, so I can't comment on that.
