You almost have it. Use the "#shell" / "#endshell" directives.
The backquotes create a string. That string may contain
arbitrary contents, including stuff that looks like AutoGen
definitions. Or shell script text. Anything. Try this:
autogen definitions template.tpl;
#shell
for i in `find my/dir -name '*.def'`
do echo "list = '${i}';"; done
#endshell
