yes it does. However a  bit different. with the command mkzopeinstance 
you can construct zope instance within seconds. each one with its own 
controllscript. They are meant to be added to init.d.
This is only nearly  as easy to use as the rc machinery but it is much 
more flexible. With standard SuSE Zope it is quiet an undertaking to 
have a second zope running on a different port. With a custom install it 
is very easy.
