Every major CMS should be able to handle this.

Don't use Joomla.
Drupal is good for this.
MODx pwns here.

All could handle this, but only up to a point. Drupal would probably do slightly better than Joomla.
For a seriously large project, though, expect quite a bit of custom work needing to be done.

All can handle this, but you might need some custom work.
