Hmm, alas this should be really done manually. I know no good way to do

You can replace $(TOPSUBDIRS) by a list of directories like
SUBDIRS = foo1 foo2 foo3
to avoid problems with subdrs without makefiles.

But it permit you to checkout this directory like
cvs co kde-common/admin

If you take a look at, for example, kdevelop or kdelibs or kdebase cvs
repository, you will find that admin directory is there anyway.
I believe it is symlinked on cvs server (but I may be wrong).

You can do it, but it's better to leave things as is (only replacing
$TOPSUBDIRS with src).

In the worst case you can checkout your module from cvs and import it
as an automake project in KDevelop.

Look at KDevelop source tree in cvs. We use KDevelop for developing on
the local KDevelop copy from repository.
