For all I know plone.reload works and people use it during daily
development including myself. The code reloading part has some
limitations, like not dealing with properties / decorated methods, but
the ZCML part should just work (tm).

It's currently a bit Zope 2 specific, but the general pattern as seen in
http://dev.plone.org/plone/browser/plone.reload/trunk/plone/reload/zcml.py
should be easy to adopt to non-Zope 2. It makes some assumptions like
zope.testing.cleanup functions to be available for all secondary
registries populated by ZCML handlers.
