It is possible to build a CPU without a single gate: http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/inst/ag-ki/rojas_home/documents/...

The CPU actually contains many gates, only the ALU is a single gate.

That uses a NAND gate in a similar fashion as the MyNOR

No, look at the conclusion, there is no more gate for the ALU.
