Okay, I was getting somewhere with this for a while, but now I seem
to have hit another snag. I borrowed a configure.in from KDE 3.5.10
and was able to recreate what I think is the correct acinclude.m4 using
the admin/acinclude.m4.in and admin/libtool.m4.in from kdetoys-3.5.13.
Using those, I was able to get amor past the configure stage with Portage,
but it fails in mid-build due to missing moc files (full log in attachment):

"which moc" gives "/usr/qt/3/bin/moc", for what it's worth.
