Whe you say "handles" Dreamweaver templates, what exactly do you mean?  
(Some of us are still hand-coding vampires and shrink from the bright 
light of WYSIWYG tools.  ;-)

Although I am not clear as to your requirements, perhaps Savant will 
provide what you need.  Although Savant is not in PEAR, it is fully 
PEAR compliant.  I quote the home page:  "Savant is a powerful but 
lightweight PEAR-compliant template system for PHP. It is 
non-compiling, and uses PHP itself as its template language so you 
don't need to learn a new markup system. ... It has an object-oriented 
system of template plugins and output filters..."
