It depends.

If the language is a simple C-like language then suffix rules may
suffice.

And of course you can always write support code in a .am file that you
`include' wherever you need it.  This works if the support you need is
largely boilerplate rules without special processing.

Otherwise, you need to hack automake.  What language are you concerned
about?
