I'd be amazed if anybody tried to combine them. In Scribus at least 
they're completely independent - it can be built with autotools _OR_ 
CMake. Neither interacts with the other or depends on the other.

Personally for a new project I'd just start with CMake. I don't see any 
reason to implement another build system in parallel for a new project.
