IMHO the instantiation should be done in __init__ instead of the
manage_add... method so that if you subclass it, you retain this
behavior in the subclasses.

To instanciate ZCatalog in your product:

from Products.ZCatalog.ZCatalog import ZCatalog
from OFS.Folder import Folder

class MyClass(Folder):
    def __init__(self, id, title=''):
        catalog = ZCatalog('Catalog')
	self._setObject('Catalog', catalog)
