I think that most CNC power 3 jaw chucks are hydraulic. You might be able to find one used and setup an air over hydraulic cylinder to control it so you wouldn't need a running hydraulic power source.
If you started with a CNC lathe that had some bad controls you might be a lot further along than starting from scratch. What is not acceptable from a metal turning standpoint (ala accuracy and wear) might be fine from a wood turning standpoint.
