I think you can really. Drupal and plog do the same thing, they publish content. Blogs are meant to be a bit more personal in that respect but words are words. I think with plugins, basicaly the same concept that drupal has, plog could eventually be a full CMS, but I don't think it would be wise nor the plan to go that route.

Note: One thing that I liked about druapl that was pretty nifty was the ability to perform the install from the command line. I'm using mysql 4.1-gamma which isn't too friendly with standard php libs. Instead of downgrading my system its easier to do a manual install. The installer script doesn't seem to pick up during the install but does for regular usage. Anyone think about making a perl script installer? Or even something simpler thats command line driven?

I've recently taken a look at drupal as well. What I find when comparing plog to drupal is that drupal uses maybe 10% of the resources when displaying posts. This is a big concern to me because my site is starting to pull 5000+ hits a day and on busy days I might even get 7 or 8 thousand. The drupal CMS leaves a relatively low footprint on my system and has some interesting features like paging and the abbility to throttle modules during high load.

Drupal also has the ability to have books, articles linked to each other, and thats also had my eye for a while now.

I've been noticing, I think I'm going convince my mom to go with plog 1.0 for her organization website.
