Hi 
  You can always try qmake.
I am a regular user of kdevelop and but dont quite understand the complexity 
involved with autotools.

So  when I have to deal with a project involving autotools I use qmake.
qmake -project invoked in the project directory will make a .pro file.
then running qmake will generate a makefile.
Once this is done you can use kdevelop and import the existing project

This usually works well for most projects.
The beauty of this is you just have to mainitain your source tree. No need to 
maintain the Makefile. However if you want link to new libraries etc to your 
build you will have to maintain the .pro file which is very easy to maintain.

Let me know if this works
