I wouldn't recommend it. The syntax looks similar, but there are some
slight differences, and Automake has its own ideas of what rules and
variables you are and aren't allowed to override. Besides, there's quite
a lot of stuff that Automake will output even with an entirely blank
Makefile.am; I doubt it would be very much fun to try to merge that into
the current Makefile.in without essentially doing a full port to
Automake.

(Now if only I had time to actually do such a port ...)
