Integrate Cake with existing system?

I have a custom content management system setup already. This CMS has
been built from scratch several years ago and it's getting to a point
where code files are getting huge and hard to follow, since it's not
well structured. I like the idea of implementing the MVC idea. I'm
wondering if I can develop with CakePHP into an existing system. I
realize that I can build a totally new application using Cake, but how
easy is it to plugin to my system that exists without re-writing all
my existing code.

Realistically, I would want to convert each separate module/component
of the CMS one at a time. So, at this point I'm going to start
building a small photo gallery component into my CMS. Can I use the
core CMS code that is there already and plugin a component that I can
build using Cake? Then later, I can re-structure some existing
components for MVC use.

Any general suggestions or starting points for this, or is it really
only feasable to use Cake on a new system being built from the ground
up?
