No, sorry. The Makefile.in files and configure have to live in the source tree, as do installed files such as install-sh, config.guess, config.sub. You can turn off usage of autom4te.cache (see the Autoconf manual), but it will make autotools slower. I suppose source tree clutter could be one motivation to go for nonrecursive Makefile setups.
