You can use multiple databases, and you can have the admin site (or
whatever) in a 'shared' database. It does come with some limitations:
1. Strict separation. Page creation (page/style/element records)
come from the shared database, content (anything fetched by the page
code during page execution) comes from the client database. You can
thus not use elements from both the shared and the client database.
2. Since the connection switches over to the client database just
before page execution starts, you can no longer get info on the
current page ($midgard->page is available but meaningless since it's
in another database).
Asgard is currently not compatible with multidb. The old admin site is
with minor adjustments. I don't know about nadmin, but my guess is it
won't work without major changes.

It can be shared, and has the added benefit that the client sees only
their own site content (page/user/article/whatever records), and not
those of the shared site, as you have with SG0 sites.

I know of none.
