you might have a look at

http://easyrec.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easyrec

and how they developed a custom module for Drupal

http://drupal.org/node/1049712

I guess something similar could be done for Lenya.

Also some time ago we have started the development of "Boost"

http://www.wyona.com/en/White_Paper_-_Yanel_Boost_-_Online_Business_Development_Engine.pdf

which is even more user oriented than easyrec.

A prototype implementation has been done for Yanel, e.g.

http://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yanel/trunk/src/contributions/resources/personalized-content

If you have a look at this stuff then you will see that the analysis of 
click streams and the profile management
can be done independent of the CMS (think of Google analytics), but that 
the CMS will access the "recommendation engine" for specific user 
interests and then for example create a personalized homepage, e.g.
in the case of a "Newspaper": If the click stream analysis shows that 
you are interested in movies, then the movie reviews can be moved to the 
top of the page.
