Yes.  Most likely you won't have to do anything, you esp. don't have to
set VPATH yourself.  But you should read up on the three different
trees: the source tree, the build tree, and the install tree.

This chapter of the Automake manual walks you through several autotools
features, including those you're looking for:

Hope that helps.
