The reply from Warren Young sums this up nicely.  The only thing I would add
is that it seems possible to include an m4 file before the call to AC_INIT
as described here:

http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-specify-AC_INIT-version-externally-p27066165.htm
l

./version.m4
  m4_define([VERSION_NUMBER],[1.2.3])

./package/configure.ac
  m4_include([../version.m4])
  AC_INIT([package],VERSION_NUMBER) =


If Bakefile could output some variables in a version.m4 then the version
number could be contained in the .bkl file only.
