While Cake has conventions, there is absolutely nothing which requires that you take advantage of them. Given that Cake is a MVC implementation, you will primarily be dealing with customized models to support your legacy database.
Models provide $useTable so you can have a model named User that points at a table named VENDOR_ACCOUNTS. I would jump into your implementation head-first and see what you can build. Use this list for specific questions/issues that you run into along the way. If you think a tutorial concerning this subject would be helpful, perhaps you will consider documenting your own experiences and sharing them after you are complete.
