Zope2, yes.
Zope3? Not at all.

Will modularizing Zope 3 make it easier for newbies? Not really, but
with zopeproject or similar it shouldn't be more complicated either.
In fact, the installation process might end up being simpler:

Compare:

wget http://www.zope.org/whatevah/Zope.tgz
tar xvfz thetgz
./configure
make
make install
make instance directory

With:

easy_install zopeproject
zopeproject directory
cd directory
bin/buildout

Or something similar to that. Doesn't really look more complicated to me. :-)
Sure, it uses paste and stuff, but you don't have to know about that to use it.
