Well this is an interesting question, and I think it would be nice to see a development of such a window manager. I attempted and I can start hildon menus and status bar up on alternate window managers like openbox and KDE. The probelm is it seems to have some kind of hooks into matchbox to hold it in place along the left side and the status bar is also not displaying in the correct location. I have tried at least 10 window managers and they all dont display the hildon menus properly. If we could have such a window manager we could co-exist it would be awesome.

Some type of crossbreed matchbox and normal window manager would be awesome, but I think it would have to be built from scratch. Sounds totally possible, but not by me
