NO!

A makefile should _never_ call ldconfig, as this is only the sysadmin's
job. Apart from that, it's a Linuxism, that will probably not even exist
on other architectures...

The only thing thar could be useful here, is including a message in the
makefile. I guess that just adding something like "if you just installed
xine-lib, you have to run ldconfig as root before installing xine-ui",
just after the "xine not found" message.
