Possibly indeed, but it seems that would require hacking of the FindPythonInterp.cmake module, which isn't very elegant.
For now I've been following up on the suggestion from the CMake ML, and copied FindPython3Interp.cmake and FindPython3Libs.cmake from [https://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/shiboken/source/fdf8e4b70e2a82cda581ceae06a1c98fb20114f0:cmake/Modules] into kdev-python's cmake/modules directory (which I had to create). Some editing of those files was necessary to bring them up to date and get them to find the required Python libraries from MacPorts (= on OS X), but it seems to work.

Since kdev-python 1.7.1 for use with kdevplatform 1.7.1 is apparently still in git only I'll file a Review Request when I'm done.
