I'll give you a tentative pronouncement: no way!

The component architecture in Zope 3 has nothing to do with security. In fact, 
the CA is on a lower level than security, since security depends on the CA.

BTW, if you want different looking sites for different roles, I guess you 
could implement some default skin or new URL namespace that picks a skin 
based on a user's permission. The plugability of Zope 3 should make this 
possible.
