I'm inheriting a php project of a complete website. It's currently static; the owner just wants a blog on the front page to keep things fresh. Is there a mature PHP blog software out there that I can make a few calls to and have a blog up and running on their front page, without having to convert their entire existing site to a blog or CMS software?

That's one of the use cases for Serendipity. It has a configuration option specifically for that. So unlike Wordpress you don't need to hack it. It's not as featureful and a somewhat bloated package, but has a far better security track record.

You shouldn't need to hack Wordpress very much to do it. It should be quite straint forward.

It seems to be doable with WP, but it looks a bit more involving: http://embedwordpress.com/ or http://moshublog.com/2005/07/05/integrate/ - so most people use an iframe or rather duplicate an existing site layout into a WP theme.
