What I've done with automake and makedepf90 is to define a "depend" 
target as well as include the generated dependency information in 
Makefile.am, which then gets included into the "real" Makefile. 
Something like:

include depend.mk

# Dependencies generated by "makedepf90" tool.
depend depend.mk:
        makedepf90 $(myprogram_SOURCES) >depend.mk

So then I can (re)generate the dependency information (in depend.mk) by 
running "make depend".
