For kolabd and kolab-webadmin this is rather trivial:

Make a working copy of the 2 (from the cvs directory) in for example /var/tmp.  
The working copy keeps the cvs directory clean:
- mkdir /var/tmp/server
- cp -a ...../server/kolabd /var/tmp/server
- cp -a ...../server/kolab-webadmin /var/tmp/server
(kolab-webadmin copies a file from kolabd)

- cd /var/tmp/server/kolabd/kolabd
- ./bootstrap
- ./configure *)
- make distcheck
ready :)

For kolabd-webadmin replace kolabd with kolab-webadmin.  Kolab-webadmin will 
issue a warning about basename, but this is considered harmless.

*) there is no need to specify the distribution, as a source tarbal is 
created...
