Well Gareth is right though, you can use symfony to generate your schema based on the data model you have, and then configure the doctrine mapping stuff to conform the schema to whatever standard or new schema you want.
I looked at cakePHP a while ago as well. Its lack of command line tools and support for php 4 gave symfony the win. After getting into symfony and finding things like Diem, Doctrine, Swift_Mailer, and such I had a feeling of wow am I ever glad I chose to get into this!
