I have a couple of things that might help.

There is: <http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CreateQtAssistantDocs>   
which I wrote to generate Qt Assistant style documentation which could  
be easily changed to generate the needed xml file for kate. The  
downside to this is that it would only run under MinGW or Cygwin on  
windows as it is a bash script.

I have a C++ program (depends on some boost and expat) that parses the  
CMake DocBook xml file and extracts out the various bits and pieces  
and then generates xml or whatever based on what was read. Currently I  
have it extracting out the commands, deprecated commands, properties  
and cmake variables. For each of those it will also parse out the  
"brief documentation" for the 'thing' being parsed, the usage (for  
commands) and if it is deprecated or not.

If you take a look at <http://cmakeed.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cmakeed/trunk/com.cthing.cmakeed.core/plugin.xml?view=markup

CMakeEd Eclipse Plugin.

Looking at the kate syntax xml I can certainly generate that xml from  
my program. I can just lump together the cmake variables, properties  
and 'special arguments' into the 'special arguments' xml section of  
the kate syntax xml.

I would be more than happy to contribute the code to the KDE project  
under what ever license it needs to be.
