Cake is flexible enough that your user model can use a db table not called users. Use var $useTable = 'smf_users';
You may have to set up all the associations manually etc. but I think that while seperate tables might appear easier to start with, it will introduce sync errors and data redundancy and probably give you headaches further doen the track. BTW SMF 2.0 looks promising...
