I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Fastcgi needs to communicate
with the application and it uses either TCP or a named pipe. If you use
TCP then Zope will be available also directly from its port. A mistake I
made the first time I used fastcgi was to assign the same port both for
Zope and fastcgi. 

Also is apache really configured in your case to serve files from
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/zope ?

the zope file should not exist put apache should be configured to serve
files from /usr/local/apache/htdocs. If not just substtite the path with
your Documentroot configured path.
