I did a tagging extension that works like this. Basically, you set up virtual pages with the slug as the name for your category. A regex in the page type grabs the slug from the url and then displays whatever it is you need. You just need to make some specific tags to display your categories and their attributes, but you can still use the basic Radiant tags. I set it up with two virtual pages, a listing page, and a display page. Listing shows all categories and links to them, display shows each category.
You can check out my extension at http://svn.bitchkittyracing.com/ extensions/metatagging. You may need to check out the assets extension to make it work, but I hope to change that in a few days, but I have been pretty busy for the last few days. Let me know if you have any questions. I have an example of this working at http://keithbingman.com. Both the posts and the galleries are based on it.
