No, you're right.  Unfortunately you'll have to tinker with the code.
Each member's home page is copied into their folder as per the code in
MembershipTool.  You'll not be wanting a Document anyway, if you need
their home page to be dynamic.   

Instead, you could make the home folder be a SkinnedFolder, then add a
view action to it which does its logic in dtml / python scripts.

If you don't know how to do that, here are some quick pointers: you
can add a SkinnedFolder in the same way that a Document is added in
MembershipTool (it would be something like
SkinnedFolder.addSkinnedFolder...).  Actions can be set via a tab on
the Types Tool, on a per Type basis.  Stick dtml methods corresponding
to these actions in a new skin folder in the Skins tool.  Use a
'memberfolder_view' action to iterate through the contents of the
member's folder and display them beautifully.  That's one one of
doing it, anyway.
