More or less...

You cannot use the stock CMFDefault alone.
You will need modifications.

But it will be feasible.

The most difficult part is probably that your objects do not live
inside CMF but in a database.

CMFDefault is not made for this kind of objects.

You will need something, that transparently fetches content
from the database and creates temporary objects which
register with the Zope transaction machinery when they are modified.

You will take care of the fact that many tools write their
data into objects. You need to change the tools or provide
for sophisticated data in your object model in the relational
database.
