Sort of :)

svn checkous are meant to be used *in-place*, which means you just 
execute "make" and then "./z3.py" to start an instance. You can also use 
bin/mkzopeinstance.py to split off another instance off of the checkout 
but we usually don't do that even.

If you want a properly installable version of Zope X3, please download 
the tarball and follow the usual distutils procedure.
