The makefiles are complex because they're generated from templates. The only 
file you have to write is Makefile.am. Look in KDE's CVS how the other apps 
do it, it's normally not more than 5-10 lines of code, plus some data or 
special files like .desktop files or icons. The perl script am_edit does even 
simplify this.
Take whatever external KDE package to see how to create a standalone package.

There are so many requests concerning compiling/building KDE apps now that 
I've started a tutorial for this some days ago at 
http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~js177634/kdebuild.html, but don't expect it to 
be complete or fully correct for now. And I'm pretty sure there are others 
too, just look around at developer.kde.org.
Also see the KDE 2.0 development book for another description.
If KDevelop hasn't such a topic in its documentation (couldn't check this 
yet), it's time to include one.
