First you'd need to set up your VirtualHost directive in Apache with a
ServerAlias directive that matches every possible hostname you want it to
serve, like
ServerAlias *.example.com
or maybe
ServerAlias www.*.example.com
(not sure if that last one works)
Then you'll need to program your CakePHP app to recognize the hostname in the
HTTP request and do something (whatever you're wanting to do) with the username
part.

The links your app generates would only need to include the protocol and
hostname if the hostname changes. Otherwise the existing helper method is fine.
