Hi Tim,
Since I am in the process of integrating JSR-170 into Corinis I may have 
a few answers:

there are no "client apps" as you would describe it because the whole 
idea behind jsr-170 is data storage. The closest thing to jsr170 is jdbc 
- its here to retrieve/store data. And like jdbc there is no real 
"client app" - only about every java database application available.
If you have more than one system using jcr apis they can happily coexist 
and use the jsr170 storage for their data. like with every other system, 
if you want to integrate with each other you have to write a few lines 
(depending on the openess of the system).

I dont think its much easier to porting a jsr170 compliant system than a 
sql-based. In both cases you might have to work out how each system 
handles its data and write some kind of converters. But prove me wrong.

Afaik apache jackrabbit is the only real working jsr 170 compliant 
storage, but products like bea weblogic already announced that they will 
integrate jsr170 into their portal server.
