There is a standalone package available by checking out the ZODB4
module from cvs.zope.org.  I had hoped to package it up for alpha
release last week, but customer projects have kept me from getting to
the release.

The ZODB4 package has a setup.py that will install all the necessary
components, including zope.interface.  The dependency is only on
zope.interface, so nothing else from zope gets installed.
