We too had issues getting DegreeWorks to work with CAS, and eventually gave up on it when the client wouldn't accept wildcard certs, and support wasn't helping.
Since the front-end CGI is run under Apache, I'd hope it should be easy to set up mod_auth_cas to do handle authentication and attribute release. The front-end CGI would then need to be modified to collect the attributes from the appropriate environment variables instead of calling the CAS client methods as it does now. I hope to have some time to play with this idea in the future.

It sounds like they want you to modify the CAS ticket validation response. This is a pretty common modification to CAS for older clients that don't support SAML validation. You can read about it at: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASUM/Attributes in the section titled "Accessing attributes using phpCAS". BTW, phpCAS does support SAML validation these days. You can find other pages on this by searching Google for "cas 2.0 attributes".
