my idea to your problem:
you could build a new extension which will create such a new FE_group 
from FE and add users to this group [1], than the extension could also 
build up some pages which will be accessable only by this FE_group. On 
this pages you could insert plugins and special configuration like 
records of tt_content and ext_templates.

TYPO3 can easily handle restricted access for pages and content/plugins 
contained to special usergroups. Existing extensions for forums, file-
exchange,... can you find in TER.


[1] as of the internal structure TYPO3 handles group-membership you have 
to add the group to the user-record for 'adding' an user to a group
