Yes, Pootle is not just a database with a web-based interface (like 
Drupal or any of those systems).  It contains custom applications that 
run in the background, so you'd need to have those installed as well. 
The solution is to get a more expensive web host.

What kinds of files have you gotten out of Pootle?  What kinds of files 
are you trying to get in?

If by CMS-ifying you mean use only backend systems that are available on 
the cheap web hosts, then the answer is "no" because Pootle is more 
powerful than that.  It would be an interesting exercise to rewrite the 
Translate Toolkit using only PHP, truly, but it is not on the current 
todo list AFAIK.  If by CMS-ifying you mean create an easy installer 
that is web-based, well, I guess it can be done, but it may be cheaper 
(if you count programmer's salaries etc) to simply get a slightly more 
expensive web host yourself :-)
