Is there anybody who is already working on it?
To my knowledge there is no active work being done with any cmake ports. With that said, the following were started but have been dormant for a while:
tdemultimedia tdenetwork tdesdk tdewebdev amarok kpilot tde-systemsettings
The most complete are tdenetwork, tdesdk, and amarok. Check the bug tracker for possible related bug reports, such as 818 for amarok. Although not explicit, many bug reports are build issues and will help with completing cmake ports.
If you have experience with porting to cmake from automake, or you hope to gain that experience, we need a wiki how-to to guide folks with how to proceed. There are some automation tools, but to my understanding they are incomplete. One way or another, a wiki how-to would open doors toward expediting cmake ports.
If English is not your native language, I will help edit any such how-to. :)

I've ported tdeartwork but it's hard to call «porting», cause AFAIR in most of modules it was rather a rewriting than porting... I think I'm not familiar with autotools enough to wright such documentation... but I'll try to leave some notes behind myself if I'll get to work on these packages...

please don't put _any_ work into kpilot, which has long been abandoned (even at kde 3.5 times) - and that in a buggy state - as well as the supported hardware (palm pilots + clones) is as dead as anything can be. kpilot should be dropped completely from trinity, IMHO. Werner

I don't use any handheld devices, which leaves me quite naive about any Trinity support.
* Is kitchensync/opensync (tdepim) supposed to provide the same functionality?
* How do Trinity users synchronize external devices? Or is this a sore spot that should be addressed?

not exactly - it doesn't work with palm pilots, IMHO.

I use dropbox for that, which works well, though beeing limited to file system sync (so, no direct sync for internal databases like those from akonadi). dropbox client is available for all common OSes, including android.

Do we need a bug report or etherpad to address various Trinity sync tool problems?
There is one open bug report that kitchensync does not build with the latest opensync.
I see the KDE folks have revamped kpilot.

AFAIK, there was a GSOC project some time ago to do this, but the maintainer abandoned it shortly after completion, so no more kpilot for KDE - see http://blogs.fsfe.org/adridg/?p=631
