I have done so now. It turned out that CMakeManager derived from ICMakeManager 
and IProjectFileSomething, which between them exposed the functionality I 
needed. See the 2 merge request for how it turned out:

http://gitorious.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/merge_requests/10

I think I have finally gotten the basic idea about plugins+extensions in 
KDevelop :o)

Thanks for the help!
