A few thoughts:
There is a plethora of CMS out there. However, most of them are based on dynamic content generation. Dreamweaver is a bit different, especially the template aspect (.dwt).
It is in theory possible to write such a thing or at least the basic functions. The whole 'editable' regions business is nothing else than regular expressions.
In terms of display it would also be quite different as you are bound by the input mechanisms offered by HTML.

Take a look at Macromedia Contribute.

It's a very neat solution to the CMS problem... and it's pretty inexpensive too.
