Do you mean in the repository, or in a running installation?

For the repository, I'd suggest they just go in src/, since they can't 
conflict with the names there anyway.  Groups of semi-related packages could 
share a container package to keep src/ from growing too rapidly.

For a running Zope, they can be installed into the instance's lib/python/ or 
the software installation's lib/python/.  If you really, really want to work 
with a checkout, stick them in src/; they shouldn't conflict with anything 
there anyway, or you could add them to someplace on sys.path.
