Why settle for an old version when you can download a fresh new one from zope.org?
My experience with distribution-spesific zope is that it works rather poor (or not at all), installment of additional packages is difficult or impossible.
In general: It WILL lead you to the dark side.
You might try to search for a newer package that you can emerge, or maybe ask the gentoo-comunity to provide such a package, or even make one yourselfe.
