Hi, I have done that for the RAMCacheManagers in CPS:

http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/file/CPSUtil/trunk/cachemanagersetup.py

Note that a five:implements is required to make it work:

http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/file/CPSUtil/trunk/configure.zcml

About the construction arguments question, I cannot answer since I'm not 
familiar with the GenericSetup internals enough. But for the RAMCacheManager 
case, it's just not required.
