It is possible to have a default look for unregistered visitors and a
personalized look for those who bother. In my opinion it's much better
to let people enter the site unhindered an let them enter personal
information on subsequent pages. If you try to enforce registration you
will find out that a suspiciously high number of people goes by the name
of "Foo Bar" and have their mail hosted with "example.com".
Pages that can be accessed by registered users only will not be spidered
by search engines. Plus search engines follow links, and if there are no
links on the front page but only a login form this might hurt search
engine ranks.

When my clients ask for something stupid or propably illegal I'll have
them sign a waiver that says that the legal repercussions of the matter
are their problem, not mine (actually that's the second step, first I
try to educate them).
Tell them to check if it's legal and have them sign it if they say it's
legal and you should be safe.

Most CM-Systems have some sort of "wrapper"-Mechanism which lets you
assign a URL to an iframe.
