Well, there's a functional testing framework in ZopeTestCase and Sidnei 
even ported doctests (including dochttp tests) to ZopeTestCase. Five 1.1 
uses doctests everywhere, even for functional tests.

As far as I can see, the only real Zope 3 specific thing in zc.mechtest 
is this line in testing.py:

   from zope.app.testing.functional import HTTPCaller

Someone should try and see what happens if that line were replaced with

   from Testing.ZopeTestCase.zopedoctest.functional import http

and then below:

       self.caller = http
