It should be the exact target used for DVI except for the addition of a
'--pdf' switch to the texi2dvi command line.  I'm using the following,
stripped directly from my Automake generated Makefile.in's DVI targets,
but I didn't research enough to know if any of the constituent elements
(TEXINPUTS, MAKEINFO, makeinfo includes) vary with Makefile.am
parameters:

SUFFIXES = .aux .txt .pdf
# texinfo based targets automake neglects to include
.texinfo.pdf:
        TEXINPUTS=$(srcdir):$$TEXINPUTS \
          MAKEINFO='$(MAKEINFO) -I $(srcdir)' $(TEXI2DVI) --pdf $<
.txi.pdf:
        TEXINPUTS=$(srcdir):$$TEXINPUTS \
          MAKEINFO='$(MAKEINFO) -I $(srcdir)' $(TEXI2DVI) --pdf $<
.texi.pdf:
        TEXINPUTS=$(srcdir):$$TEXINPUTS \
          MAKEINFO='$(MAKEINFO) -I $(srcdir)' $(TEXI2DVI) --pdf $<

By the way, there may not be much demand for it any longer, but we have
legacy targets to generate ASCII versions of our manuals as well.  I'm
told they ocassionally came in handy for mailing:

.texinfo.txt:
        TEXINPUTS=$(srcdir):$$TEXINPUTS \
          MAKEINFO='$(MAKEINFO) -I $(srcdir)' $(MAKEINFO) $< --no-headers
-o $@
.txi.txt:
        TEXINPUTS=$(srcdir):$$TEXINPUTS \
          MAKEINFO='$(MAKEINFO) -I $(srcdir)' $(MAKEINFO) $< --no-headers
-o $@
.texi.txt:
        TEXINPUTS=$(srcdir):$$TEXINPUTS \
          MAKEINFO='$(MAKEINFO) -I $(srcdir)' $(MAKEINFO) $< --no-headers
-o $@
