There are 2 things you need to do. The first is the builder plugin which
shouldn't be too difficult easy and you can even use the tools plugin if
you don't need any options (e.g. debug/release build variants).

The second is the project backend. I believe this will be really limited
by the fact that SCons uses python and not a simple declarative
language. IMHO, modifying the project structure from Anjuta isn't really
possible.

I've tried to do the same thing with waf by using a plugin written in
python[1]. The approach I used was loading the wscript module like waf
itself does it and providing an API that emulates waf and fills in some
structures. The problem I had is that the current project API isn't very
introspection-friendly (this will hopefully change with the newproject
branch).
