I believe the answer to your question is: no
The dependency info is all done within Xcode now, to prevent people from
modifying the build process like they were doing before with ProjectBuilder,
which used jam to do the actual building. And yes, I know there is a more
limited way of doing it now... [aside, it's been a weird progression, from
make, to jam (less well known, less popular, but more flexible I think) to a
propriety, one-off, not really externally modifyable build system that can't
be used on any other platform]
Now, questions for you. Why do you need make files? Is it so you can build
on non-MacOS X platforms? Distributed building? To do automated builds?
You might be able to use the 'xcodebuild' command line tool to build your
projects instead of creating makefiles...
