I did the following, which was easier than cvsup for me, bandwidth-wise:

0. I assume you have the FreeBSD python-1.5.2 package installed.
1. Unpack Python 1.5.2 source.
2. Copy /usr/local/lib/python1.5/config's Makefile and Setup to
   your Python 1.5.2 source tree.
3. Uncomment the "new" module in Setup.
4. Build the module.
5. Copy newmodule.so to /usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload.

Voila!

Zope 2.3.0 seems also to run with Python 2.0 on FreeBSD.
