Well, never used cmake myself, so can't tell. Autotools is complicated if starting from scratch, but if using existing configs from some other project, the jumpstart is very big.
As long as you don't need to change anything with autotools, and you can stay with your copied configuration, then autotools work fine. I follow the KDE project closely, and they made good experiences with cmake after a long period of autotools problems, http://dot.kde.org/1172083974/ . I look a little bit into this, and it seems ok.
As for the port ... i would expect some difficulties in some parts, like locking, loging and memory mgmnt ... also some database access libraries ... but maybe a simple, very cut-down version, with basic functionality, could be realized ...
Do you expect a huge interest in a windows port?
