It can quite easily be done. Just a matter of the same database details in the settings file.
It could reasonably be used for..
- A django site applying functionality on a legacy databsae app.
- A sattelite microsite, using a different domain and url scheme
The only disadvantages may be in keeping track of administration/user functionality but thats not a big one

I do believe that every app in Django’s DB has its tables prepended by appname_. Is that what you mean?

Very common. Techniques like this are common for avoiding redundant data, which is usually a bad thing. Otherwise someone (or some ugly program) ends up trying to keep them in sync.
- Django Testing: Does –keepdb reset changes made during tests?
- Django or yii for building a production web app with db and with custom forms and reports
- Django after @login_required redirect to next
