No:  ZCML is only used to populate the "global" component registry.
Local / persistent registries get populated either through some UI
interaction or via something like a GenericSetup import steup (there is
a corrsponding export step for saving the local utility / adapter
registrations as a text file).

It might be an interesting exercise to write a local-but-non-persistent
registry whose only persistent property was the filesystem path to a
ZCML file, which would be read and parsed when the first lookup
occurred:  AFAIK, no such animal exists today.
