You would need an OAuth library for PHP that implements an OAuth service provider.

There are PECL and PEAR OAuth libraries, but my personal testimony is oauth-php as its simpler. I implemented both a server and client with it.

I cant comment on writing a service provider in Cake.

Updates based on OP's comments

Copy that directory to your PHP application to "install" it. You would need only CURL support from your host. There are no other prerequisites from the part of your host.

I did these steps to write an OAuth provider with oauth-php, do try these, google it and ask new questions when you get stuck.

  1. read illustrated guides on how OAuth works
  2. Studied relevant chapters from http://oauth.net/core/1.0a/ (try this order: 3,4, appendix,6 and 7 to start with)
  3. read the example files included with the library, and see the how-tos in site's pages
  4. hack those files and build it up your application
