Hello,
Files like kshortcutdialog_advanced.cpp are generated by uic. Makefile lines 
like SRCMOC = moc\moc_kshortcutdialog_advanced.cpp ... are there generated by 
qmake because there is FORMS section in kdeui.pro:

FORMS = \
kshortcutdialog_advanced.ui \
kshortcutdialog_simple.ui \
kspellui.ui

As kdeui.pro contains the following external command:

system( bash kmoc )

...so when you run

  cd kdeui/
  qmake

.. appropriate kdeui/moc/*.moc files should be created, but the code generated 
from .ui files still use moc_**.cpp notation, not *.moc.

In short, .moc files are only used (and included by hand) if generated from .h 
files written by hand.
