You should be able to override the "allowed" versions of Python:

 $ cd /path/to/Zope-2.10.11
 $ ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python && make inplace

It is unlikely that whatever bugfix was in Python 2.4.4 will keep Zope
from working, although running with that version in production might be
less stable somehow.

Zope will build pretty much anywhere the corresponding Python will
build.  Lots of developers use Zope on their OS/X laptops, for instance.
