I gave it a try and AFAICT it won't be a small fix in the Makefile:
the yat2m-stamp changes depend on defs.inc, defsincdate, mkdefsinc and
friends. Then mkdefsinc.c imported from the v2.x tree does not compile
as-is. I gave up at that point, and I'm not convinced that it's worth
investing more time to fix this upstream in the v1.x tree, given that
the problem is solved in the v2.x one already.

So, maybe it's acceptable to carry a very simple Debian-only solution
for GnuPG v1.x, until it is fully replaced by v2.x? The attached patch
does that, by updating yat2m to the one included in 2.1.11, and
patching doc/Makefile.am to pass it --date $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
(initialized in debian/rules for now).

Cheers,
