The second part of your message--building the model (or at least the classes
underlying the catalyst "model"--is already quite easy to do with RDBO.

I'm not sure what the status of the first is. However, if you haven't
looked at Rose::HTML::Object, you might want to do so. Combined with RDBO
and a good template engine, it might satisfy some of your needs.
