As far as I know, this is not supported, and likely changes in Autoconf and Automake releases may have made this harder to realize over time (knowingly or not: I don't know). You can move a lot of the needed files to subdirectories, though; see the macros AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, for example.
