It can be done but the current CMake template and build system  
(in-tree, creating files everywhere and messing everything) is awful.  
I am talking about KDevelop 3.4 here.

I removed the CMakeFiles directory and the Makefile KDevelop creates  
and used my own stuff:
1. Create a "build" directory in your project's directory
2. Use this Makefile:

========
all:
         cd build; cmake ..; make

elampodaemon.wt: all

clean:
         rm -rf build/*
========
(replace "elampodaemon.wt" with your target)

3. Use this CMakeLists.txt:
========
PROJECT( elampo )

SET( DESIRED_QT_VERSION GREATER 4.3 )

FIND_PACKAGE( Qt4 REQUIRED )
FIND_PACKAGE( BoostDateTime REQUIRED )
FIND_PACKAGE( Witty REQUIRED )

INCLUDE(${QT_USE_FILE})

ADD_DEFINITIONS( -Wall -O2 -DQT_NO_KEYWORDS )

SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)

SET( elampo_SRCs main.cpp searchpagewidget.cpp resultspagewidget.cpp  
configpagewidget.cpp resultsetwidget.cpp elampo.cpp )

ADD_EXECUTABLE( elampodaemon.wt ${elampo_SRCs} )

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( elampodaemon.wt ${Witty_LIBRARY}  
${Witty_HTTP_LIBRARY} ${BoostDateTime_LIBRARY} ${QT_LIBRARIES} )

EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND cp ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/elampo.png  
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/elampo.png )
EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND cp ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/elampo_small.png  
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/elampo_small.png )
EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND cp ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/elampo.css  
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/elampo.css )
========
(replace with your stuff when needed, the "SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE  
Debug)" is only needed if you want to debug from withing KDevelop)
