I suggest you do two things before making any kind of a move in that direction.
First, install joomla in a sub directory on your host. Set up robots text to block the SEs from getting at it.
Add a few pages, no need to do anything about layout. Then switch on the SEO friendly URLs and see if they work. They don't always, it depends on your host. If they don't work then you end up with URLs that look like
http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=38
which will kill any ranking you have stone dead.
Second, if the URLs do work, go and join up in the Joomla forum and have a long talk with the experts on there.
Joomla 1.5 is due out soon. It's supposedly radically different so if you do decide to go for it I'd wait until that's released. The changeover from the current version might be a bit of a pig.
