You can specify the lower-bound version in your application's setup.py:

   install_requires=[...
                     'zope.publisher >= 3.5.0',
                     ...]

In your buildout configuration, however, you'll have to pin to a 
particular version. If you're referring to a remote version.cfg or if 
you'd rather not change the version.cfg that was downloaded according to 
a particular Grok release, you can override the setting in buildout.cfg:

   [buildout]
   ...
   extends = .../version.cfg
   versions = versions

   # add this:
   [versions]
   zope.publisher = 3.5.3
