Though I've not tried Zope on 68k personally, Debian does have
precompiled binaries of 2.1.6 and similar programs in its stable m68k
tree:

ftp> dir zope*
200 PORT command successful.

With a working C/Python/Debian development environment, you could take
the 2.3.3 sources from Debian unstable and rebuild them under the
stable release. Or you could run the testing or unstable releases of
Debian (I wouldn't on an important machine, but many others do).
