Aegir and WHM/cPanel/Plesk

This might be a dumb question, but I'm somewhat new to the whole server hosting game. But how would an Aegir setup on a server work alongside a WHM/cPanel or Plesk environment. Seeing as WHM/cPanel and whatnot have a lot of control over DNS issues, databases etc etc.

The reason I ask is that I have a dedicated server that runs my clients sites. Some are Drupal, some are Wordpress, others are coded from scratch. I want to move all of my current and future Drupal sites to an Aegir system for easy updating, migrating, installing etc, but I obviously need to keep using WHM/cPanel for my non Drupal sites. Can these two systems co-exist? If I created a site in Aegir, would it show up in the cPanel? Or would the two systems just operate separately from each other, with Drupal Aegir sites only showing up in Aegir, and the other sites in cPanel etc. Since Aegir doesn't handle e-mail, could I setup email for a domain in cPanel, but have Aegir run the actual site and database?

Sorry if these are totally newbie questions. I'm a newbie ;)
