I currently use something like this, to handle a site configuration on startup (define catalog indexes...) :

        from zope.app.appsetup.interfaces import \
                IDatabaseOpenedWithRootEvent
        from zope.app.publication.zopepublication import ZopePublication
        from zope.component import adapter

        @adapter(IDatabaseOpenedWithRootEvent)
        def handleDatabaseOpenedWithRootEvent(event):
            db = event.database
            connection = db.open()
            root = connection.root()
            root_folder = root.get(ZopePublication.root_name, None)
            ...

And in ZCML :

        <subscriber
            handler=".handleDatabaseOpenedWithRootEvent" />
