I am not sure about the most recent Zope/ZODB versions.

But, up to Zope 2.8/ZODB 3.4, Jonathan was right:

  Beside configuration, there have been MountPoint objects
  in the ZODB that handled the mounting magic.

  While not completely impossible, I would be very surprised if the need
  for MountPoint objects were dropped in newer Zope versions...
