Django Admin is VERY MUCH possible with MongoDB. Have you looked into the Djongo project?

Djongo is a SQL to MongoDB query compiler. It translates every SQL query string into a mongoDB query document. As a result,

• All Django models and related modules work as is.
• Use the Django Admin GUI to add MongoDB embedded documents.
• Djongo provides API extensions to the Django ORM that let you ‘embed’ one document inside another, like MongoEngine.

There is an article on Using Django with MongoDB by adding just one line of code, if you are looking for more information. Otherwise, you can jump directly into the djongo documentation and start using it.
