With enterprise edition we provide the preconfigured webapp ready to be
deployed with Websphere without any additional steps. But afaik you
should be able to run Magnolia CE also under that server. It just need
a bit of effort. You would need to write a simple spool servlet
necessary for Websphere to accept serving reguests (with other app 
servers Magnolia just uses its FilterChain with no specific endpoint) - 
this is approximately what the magnolia-module-websphere does. 
And register the servlet to Magnolia. Have a look at Websphere specific
notes [1] where the remaining steps are described (they are handled
by the Websphere module as well if you decide to jump into 
Magnolia enterprise which btw has a huge amount of other advantages).

Also we ship Magnolia with the Derby database by default which 
is no longer supported due to an issue between Derby and JackRabbit 
on WebSphere. So you'll have to change the configuration to use
another Persistence manager/database. There is wiki page which
describes how to do that [2]. 

The Magnolia installation process you can find at [3].

WebSphere 6.1 runtime operates on a Java 5 which is supported
by Magnolia a long time. I would recommend you to use the latest
version of Magnolia. For release notes you have a look at [4]. 

Also you would need at least WebSphere 6.1.0.2 (or better the last
one of this branch) which include some important fixes [5]. 

There is also an issue with Lucene 2.3.0 with WebSphere 6. If you 
decide for version which use that it is necessary to replace
WEB-INF/lib/lucene-2.3.0.jar, which is distributed with JackRabbit by
default, with WEB-INF/lib/lucene-2.2.0.jar which works fine.

I haven't any experience but in general it shouldn't be a problem.
