Partially...

Usually, you have the need to separate configuration, scripts
and data/content. While configuration and scripts usually should
be synced, data/content often should not (as a production site often
has different data/content then a development or test site).

ZSyncer has not problem to sync a complete CMF site.
However, when you need to separate configuration/scripts on
one site and data/content on the other, you cannot sync
a complete CMF site (as it mixes all of them).
On my Zope page

  <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope>

you find a ZSyncer patch that allows it to sync most CMF tools.
We use this to sync our portals between development, quality assurance
and production sites. Works quite well with "portal_catalog" as
an exception. "portal_catalog" intrinsically mixes configuration
and content.
