One of the strongest points of Smarty is performance. It actually creates a compiled version of a template once, making it a plain php file. Thus overhead is minimized. And I doubt creating such a system from scratch again makes sense.

Bot since the template system needs to fit into the existing code, a custom system might be the best bet in this case. Just don't make it use regular expressions for every page call :)

Just my 2 cents.
