If you're just looking to add blog functionality to the cart, you might look at the xcart-cms mod website CM put out. I haven't tried it myself, but it looks like it covers most areas that wordpress does. Of course, it doesn't have all the wordpress plugins:

Seems to me that would depend on if you will be having the bulk of visitors coming from outside of your store and directing them in, or if you will have the blog inside your store for the benefit of your visitors.

My concern is that I didn't want to have my visitors have too different sign ins and possible have to remember two different user names (or one being available in the store, but being used by someone else in the blog, etc.

Since my initial post, Quiliteam is now offering to integrate Word Press blogs into X-cart http://mods.x-cart.com/WordPress-in-X-Cart/. I asked them to bid on adding it to my site, but forgot to ask if the integration included using a common database of user names and passwords.
