I haven't done any jam for a while, but i'd start with this:

rule CProto
{
    DEPENDS $(<) : $(>) ;
    DEPENDS exe : $(<) ;
}

actions CProto
{
    cproto -o $(<) $(>)
}

CProto file.cproto.h : file.c ;

Main file : file.c ;

===============================

exe is a sudo target used in rule MainFromObjects:

What file includes file.cproto.h? This information might
be needed to get the order of updating right.
