First of all, in Zope X3.0 (and the trunk for this matter) we do not support 
TTW development. Your use case is about TTW development.

However, there is a preliminary page folder support (not sure whether it is 
part of the release). There you can register pages for a particular 
interface. If you declare a page name that already exists for the specified 
interface, you practically override it, which is the fact you desire I think. 
Note though that you cannot override any of the standard macros or anything 
more involved than simple pages.
