First you have to figure out how you want to map your users to their pages. Do you want to use subdomains? How about something like the delicious.com scheme (i.e., http://delicious.com/username/ ) Or perhaps you have something else in mind.
After you figure out your URL mapping, the rest looks like standard Django stuff to me. You have your different Django apps and you simply pull data out of each of them on a per user basis. You will need to look into a "paglet" model like django-chunks for managing content from several different Django apps in a single user page. Lot's of people have created their own implementations of this particular capability as it is not difficult to do. The tricky part will be what to do if your site gets popular and suddenly you are managing a ton of data. Then you may need to start using advanced techniques to scale your site. But for now I wouldn't worry about premature optimization. Just keep it simple for now.
