You might want to look at loadsite.py. I've never used it but you can
download it from here:
http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/zope-archive.nsf/ByKey/EBABAF83050A8D06
I don't knwo if there's more documentation anywhere else...

Sadly no step-by-step instructions (that I know of ;-)
There's the QuickStart in Zope (very out of date)
The Tutorial in Zope version 2.2.0 and above might be what you want, but
I don't know how to get it started...
There's also the O'Reilly Zope Book, bits of which are online at:
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/Projects/ZB

I don't kbnow if that's the most up to date URL... :-S

That depends, if you want your site to be visible by anyone, then
visitors don't need to be defined in Zope. If there's confidential
information, you may want to protect your site a bit more...

I'm not sure that makes sense...

The site is 'running' if Zope is running, so I'm not sure what you mean
:-S
