I think this is not possible because you are storing everything on the 
Zope DB (or Data.fs) and not on external python Products. The cvs system 
can't access what inside the Data.fs file is, so, you will see different 
versions of this file, but you won't be able to know what the 
differences are.

I know Zope has some Version system, but I don't use it because I have 
had some problems with it a long time ago and I have heard lots of 
people complaining about it; however, those problems could be already 
solved in the latest version. Just to take a look to the Zope book, 
section: "Zope services".

You could also tried to search cvs on zope.org; perhaps you can find 
some product, which does it. You could also tried to post a message on 
the zope lists (lists.zope.org), since this is a more python specific list.
