Can you doublecheck that it is running on the port you suspect it to?
On my FreeBSD box the command sockstat gives
reinoud@spoetnik$ sockstat
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN
ADDRESS     =20
[...]
nobody   python2. 18738   13 tcp4   192.168.1.11:8080     *:*

nobody   python2. 18738   14 tcp4   192.168.1.11:8021     *:*


if that works, try=20
telnet locahost 8080
and enter the command
GET /

you normally get a bunch of HTML back, but maybe some error message
(otherwise try looking in /var/log/messages or the Zope output (I
guess /usr/local/www/Zope/var/zope-output if you installed it from the
ports

Yes, the default installation is without Apache. It is possible
'behind' Apache, but that takes some configuration

I printed out the Zope book and read it. see
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ for links to various formats.
It should be available by now at your local computer book store.
