See CMFPlone/skins/plone_scripts/getWorkflowHistory.py
This basically does this when you view a page:

try:
    # get total history
    review_history =context.portal_workflow.getInfoFor(context, 'review_history')
except WorkflowException:
    log( 'CMFPlone/skins/plone_scripts/getWorkflowHistory: '
         '%s has no associated workflow' % context.absolute_url() )


When the content you are looking at has no workflow, you will get this
in your log file.  I think it should be safe to customize this script
in the portal_skins tool and change the "log(....)" line in "pass".

But really this log message informs you about something that is
harmless.  So it should probably either not be logged in that case or
this script should not even be called.  I wondered about this too
before I dived in to change a few things here before Plone 3 was
released.
