I've never bothered to learn autotools fully since it's so complicated, and I can mostly just edit existing files to get what I want.

How steep is the learning curve on cmake? Can I learn the basics in an hour or two?

Yes, absolutely. There was an article in Linux Magazine recently (disclaimer, free registration apparently required, and I'm the author of the article) about how to use CMake as well one here at LWN too. It's very simple to get started using it.
