It may work somewhat also for non-KDE projects.
You may be able to remove the KDE specific stuff, and it should produce some 
skeleton.
The result will not be working CMakeLists.txt, but the boring translation work 
will have been done for you.

E.g. all the configure checks you have to convert yourself.
I usually take the config.h created from the autotools build and start adding 
the tests to the cmake files until the generated config.h are (basically) 
identical.
