Justin,
kdevelop uses autoconf and automake to ensure that your project can be 
compiled/linked on different platforms, the file which controls this is 
<yourproject>.kdevprj - you can setup all necessary information there (such 
as extra libs, install locations etc.).
kdevelop creates the Makefile.am, Makefile.in etc from <yourproject>.kdevprj.
autoconf&automake create the actual Makefile from these files, Makefile 
itself  is of course specitic to the current platform/distribution.
in any case, it is safe to rely on the mentioned framework, all you have to 
provide is a working autoconf+automake.
it would be much harder to generate an independent Makefile otherwise.
