You don't, it's badly supported and too tricky.

The setup Automake supports is this:
  - all Makefiles are unconditionally created by `configure'
  - but some of can be left out of the build during `make'
    (they will still be recursed by `make dist')

See section `Conditional subdirectories' in node `Top level' of
the manual for examples.
