Well, Zope has its own HTTPServer or you can use PCGI tunneling or simple 
URL forwarding with Apache. There is no need for root permission to run 
Zope. You can start it on any port you like.

The easiest thing is to try it out on your machine. Get the binary install 
from www.zope.org and you should be going in 15 mins. If you have troubles, 
make a post on zope@zope.org.

Stephan
