Those three things should be really easy to customize in, for example, cPanel.

The unusual home directory layout should be easy with anything that uses the system's user management tools, too, since typically you can just mess with the skeleton home directory to your heart's content.

Most web control panels can use PAM, LDAP, XML of some sort, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or some other source you can configure. PAM can be configured to use about anything itself.

The addwebuser script might be an issue depending on just what you mena by "strange". Chances are there's a suitable way to import the existing users into whatever control panel you end up using.
