there aren't any intranet packages per se, but there is a wonderful zope product called worldpilot which you should take a look at. its available at http://demo.worldpilot.com:8080/site/
it has a very nice web based mail client / calendar / todo / address book features. that fulfils half of your requirements in an intranet. for the other half, go out and create something based on other zope tools, e.g. zwiki / squishdot / ptk
the drawback is in integrating worldpilot with whatever you create. the code is definitely not the most manageable, however, the source is there - so you can do whatever you want :)

zope is without doubt one of the best ways to do this. most important for me is the ability to extend the product in a rapid and easy manner
at esp (company i work for), we desperately looked around for good intranet solutions and ended up making our own 'xnet' product based on zope. it does pretty much anything you would want from an intranet, and using zope was definitely the best decision we made about it.
i would offer you this product, however, its been made primarily for internal use, but with a few days work, i guess it could be be made non-esp centric. pop onto irc (irc.espnow.com / #esp) if you want to talk about it.
SR> How long (rough estimate) would something like SR> this take to develop for a Zope newbie?
if you dedicate yourself to this, then about two months. zope has a steep learning curve. but once you get to a certain level, everything becomes much clearer... that is, until you want to rise to the next level of zope meisters
