I do something similar on my personal sites - where the non-cmf stuff is
actually non-zope stuff.  For example, PhPBB.  Just use Apache rewrites to
manage that.  I'm not sure if the '/something' above is Zope or not; either
way it should work fine.  Is docs literally a CMFPortal?  You can mangle all
the frontside urls people see to anything on the backend you wish.....
