We currently support qmake (and Qt Creator), Autotools, and CMake in
ui/qt. We might be able to get qmake to use Makefile.common (e.g. by
adding "!include( Makefile.common ) to QtShark.pro" but this would start
unraveling the next time anyone added a new class or form inside Qt
Creator. We could also go the other direction and have qmake generate
our file lists from QtShark.pro:

unix {
    COMMON_INC = "$$PWD/Makefile.common.qt"
    system(echo "$$LITERAL_HASH Automatically generated by \
        qmake + QtShark.pro. Do not edit" > $$COMMON_INC)
    system(echo "WIRESHARK_QT_SRC = " $$SOURCES >> $$COMMON_INC)
    system(echo "MOC_HDRS = " $$HEADERS >> $$COMMON_INC)
    system(echo "UI_FILES = " $$FORMS >> $$COMMON_INC)
}

I'd be OK with either solution.

BTW, it looks like you can pull Makefile-style definitions into CMake.
This would make maintenance easier everywhere, not just in ui/qt:
