Is there a reason for duplicating work and wasting precious time?
Frameworks ease how much you have to code. Depending on what the framework
provides from authentication, session handling, to database accessing.
Using a framework for a CMS would definitately make it easier to create.
Without a framework you are asking for trouble later in the end.

In fact, I would prefer to see public ones 
Paul Vudmaska (paul, are you still lurking?) has a nice looking system
that
he created for a bunch of his clients. It's done directly with
mod_ruby/eruby without the benefit of any other framework. That one is,
or
was, publically available at some version. If Paul isn't listening, I'll
see if I can find out what the state of that is and report back.
I may end up to do a CMS for my site and in this case I would release it
publically.
I think I wouldn't use big frameworks either.
Some features I need would be :
- XML based structures content
- Good metadata system
- Roles and rights (abouts users and files)
- i18n
- workflows
- versionning
- groupware
