No. Consider src/<yourpackage> to be a complete and exhaustive 
definition for your application. This should include all dependencies. 
In particular, this should include loading all dependencies' 
configuration. So if your application inherently depends on some other 
package's configuration, you should load it in 
src/<yourpackage>/configure.zcml.

You may obviously modify site.zcml. In fact, it's not a "hack" to do so. 
site.zcml should contain all the things that are specific to the 
deployment, like the bootstrap admin principal or the security policy 
(which sometimes may also be application-specific, depends).
