if you don't have extensive pre-existing php (legacy) code I would say do it all in django.
even if you wrote some already in php you will save more time by throwing it away and reimplementing in django then you will trying to make them co-exist or by trying to use a legacy db schema. if you have to write the facebook part in php, then just do that part. let django build and manage the database schema. I have one client with a large site developed in php and running since 2001. its drudgery having to go back and do new stuff on it now. :( even though it was a pretty clever framework at the time and I ported some django and rails stuff to it over the years.
