Yes, this is certainly possible, this is actually how my site works. The login view redirects (on success) by default to accounts/ something, but that URL is customizable as a setting (see the auth documentation), so you can just redirect back to the front page. The front page would then check if the user is authenticated (by using request.user.is_authenticated in the template) and show the right things based on that. If for some reason you would like to override the login() view, that is very simple. Basically it's just validating the form input and then using authenticate() and redirecting to different places depending on the result.
