The solution to this problem that I use in pygtk is the following:

dnl the pygtk version number
m4_define(pygtk_major_version, 1)
m4_define(pygtk_minor_version, 99)
m4_define(pygtk_micro_version, 10)
m4_define(pygtk_version, 
pygtk_major_version.pygtk_minor_version.pygtk_micro_version)

AC_INIT(pygtk, pygtk_version,
       
[http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnome-python&component=pygtk])

AC_DEFINE(PYGTK_MAJOR_VERSION, pygtk_major_version, [PyGtk major version])
AC_DEFINE(PYGTK_MINOR_VERSION, pygtk_minor_version, [PyGtk minor version])
AC_DEFINE(PYGTK_MICRO_VERSION, pygtk_micro_version, [PyGtk macro version])


I can then use any of the M4 macros anywhere inside my configure script, 
and they get substituted to the correct values.  Works very well for me.
