I don't know the details of the cake session component, or sessions in general, but I believe that the sessions work by creating a cookie with a unique code. This code points to the session file (or db record) where the session data is stored.
So from my understanding, as long as both smf and cakephp use the same cookie name, and that cookie has a path that is high enough in the domain path to cover both applications, then they will share the session data. If smf is using a custom session handler, such as a database or similar, you will have to replicate that session handler for the cake stuff. If they are both using the built in php file based session there should be no drama.
