You can always get make to cd into the directory before executing 
orbit-idl-2. You can either hard code a rule or use a generic form like 
this one:

%-common.c %-skels.c %-stubs.c %.h %-imodule.c: %.idl
   ( cd `echo $< | perl -ne 's,[^/]*$$,,; print'` ; orbit-idl-2 -I . 
--add-imodule `basename $<` )

This works with GNU make and requires perl.
