Yes, and they should be in /usr/(local/)share/aclocal ... but only if you
install -dev or source versions of these packages.

Using aclocal is now a requirement for compiling cvs.

Yes, look at this section from client/Makefile:

X_PRE_LIBS =
#cond0civclient_OBJECTS =  audio_sdl.o attribute.o \
#citydlg_common.o cityrepdata.o civclient.o climisc.o clinet.o \
#control.o goto.o helpdata.o mapview_common.o packhand.o \
#options.o repodlgs_common.o tilespec.o audio.o audio_none.o
cond1civclient_OBJECTS =  audio_esd.o attribute.o \
citydlg_common.o cityrepdata.o civclient.o climisc.o clinet.o \
control.o goto.o helpdata.o mapview_common.o packhand.o \
options.o repodlgs_common.o tilespec.o audio.o audio_none.o
cond2civclient_OBJECTS =  attribute.o citydlg_common.o \
cityrepdata.o civclient.o climisc.o clinet.o control.o \
goto.o helpdata.o mapview_common.o packhand.o options.o \
repodlgs_common.o tilespec.o audio.o audio_none.o

Both cond1 and cond2 are included. If I comment out either, it works.
