I am pretty sure the zope.conf is not extensible at this point; i.e. you 
cannot add new sections. Also, Zope will not take additional command line 
arguments. 

For right now I would write some custom ZCML and place it in the root 
directory; this way it is easy to spot. As a long term solution I suggest 
writing a proposal that explains this need and provides some approaches.
