The equivalent in Zope if you continue using apache would be a
VirtualHost with a rewrite.  For example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster at foo.com
    ServerName  www.foo.com
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)
http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.foo.com:80/sub_ob/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>

Where sub_ob is the zope object you wish to map the 'site' to.

You could also by pass using apache and just use the VirtualHostMonster
Mappings tab:
www.foo.com/sub_ob
www.bar.com/someother_ob


Hope this helps a bit more,
Andrew
