The way I have done it is to make a directory doc/ in which Makefile.am is the
only file, with the following contents:
    SUBDIRS = $(AUTODIRS)

As subdirectories to doc/, create one for each language named with the usual
2- or 5-character language identifiers (e.g. en/, zh_TW/, etc.). Each
subdirectory contains index.docbook plus any image files, etc. Its
Makefile.am is as follows:
    KDE_LANG = <language>
    KDE_DOCS = <application>

where:
     <language> is the appropriate language code, the same as the subdirectory
name.
    <application> is your application's name (all lower case).
This will cause the installed files to be put in
$KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML/<language>/<application>/
