ZPublisher also checks for an environment variable, BOBO_REALM.
(In the next release, it will check for Z_REALM first :) and
uses it if there is not module-level realm setting.

You could provide BOBO_REALM in a PCGI file directive:

BOBO_REALM=spam

In the next release, you'll also be able to 
supply environment variables on the serve.py command line.
