You have a few choices.
One is this:
BUILT_SOURCES = modnam.def
Another is this:
ttimes.o: modnam.def
Stéphane> modnam.def : ttimes.f
Stéphane> echo " data modnam/'$(datadir)'" > modnam.def
This won't quite work. `make' won't know that there is a desired
ordering between modnam.def and ttimes.o, so it might try to build
either one first.

The contents of your Makefile.am ought to be visible in Makefile.in
(though perhaps in a different order, and with some editing if you use
conditionals). I'd be suprised if this weren't the case.
