Every interior door in my log home is a pocket door (that's what the wife wanted). There are different styles of pocket door kits. Some have horizontal bracing; mine do not. I suspect they could not adequately support cement board, and even if they could, there would be too much flex for tiling.
I suggest you check around for the kits that are available and try to determine if there's one that would support the weight.
I got my door kits at Home Depot, and do not recommend them. The instructions read like they were translated into English from Swahili by a Chinaman. Installing them was one of those tasks that took an hour and a half the first time, and 20 minutes each thereafter.
