I'm not sure I understand you but I think you might be talking about what I'm thinking about and reading about in compent software architecture (book I'm reading). Actually, if most of these CMS just used Classes (properly) and used a template system then you'd have half of the ball game. I've worked on some CMS in PHP and they drive me nuts. I think you'll find that most PHP stuff is just slung together.

SOAP, eh But hey, just good Class design would be a great place to start. Not that I'm that great myself, but I see that as a quick, early win in the ballgame to really re-use stuff. http://www.smartarchitectures.com/ I've only got one framework in PHP on that site so far. Most are Perl systems. But of course the site itself uses GeekLog which is certainly easy to setup but I just haven't had much time to see how easy it is to extend. It doesn't use Smarty or any better template system and for that reason I'm leery. But I like it better than Nuke which a customer is using and I've had to work with.
