It would look something like this:

  include generated.mk

  generated.mk:  Makefile
        rm -f $@
        for t in $(TARGETLIST); do \
          echo "$$t : \$$(wildcard $$t/cmd/*.tcl)" >> $@; \
        done

  %process/gen.out : 
        ...

In this case TARGETLIST would contain a list of prefixes that matched
the "%" in the pattern rule.  If your list has a different format you
can massage it in the generated.mk rule.


Note I didn't run the above, but hopefully you get the idea.
