You can include php files in smarty
(http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.function.include.php.php)

{if $content == "INDEX"}
{include_php file="index.php"}
{elseif $content == "ABOUT"}
{include_php file="about.php"}
{/if

The much better way is to include also templates for different content
with include (http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.function.include.php)

{if $content == "INDEX"}
{include file="index.tpl"}
{elseif $content == "ABOUT"}
{include file="about.tpl"}
{/if
