How can I compile the CardMan 4000 driver on Kubuntu 7.10?

Why not use the one which comes with the kernel?

packages.ubuntu.com lists cm4000_cs as being contained in the
linux-images.

This could be because of changes within the linux kernel. As cm4000_cs
is in the vanilla kernel since a while and distributions shipping it I
would use the one already in the kernel.

Use cm4000_cs from the kernel. Last time I've used my cardman 4000 (now
replaced by a cardman 4040) I had to use openct together with pcscd to
make gnupg make use of it.
