When I needed something like this, I wrote an m4 template for Makefile.am
(file named Makefile.am.m4). it looked like this:
define(MYPROJECT_FORM,
`
##expanded form "$1" begins
uicode+= $1.h
mocced+= $1.cpp
uicgen+= $1.h $1.cpp
$1.h: $1.ui
$1.cpp: $1.ui $1.h
##expanded form "$1" ends
')
MYPROJECT_FORM(`mainform')
MYPROJECT_FORM(`colorname')
#and so on for every form
#to initially generate Makefile.am, issue this command manually:
Makefile.am: Makefile.am.m4
m4 $(srcdir)/Makefile.am.m4 > $(srcdir)/Makefile.am
I don't know if there is a better solution.

Automake does not support wildcards (I believe this means that such
code may break some make targets like distcheck). They argue this
issue in Automake info, section FAQ->wildcards. The summary of their
considerations is that you should know your sources to keep them neat
and that it is technically hard to provide this feature portably.
