These packages are using a meta-package "zope2", which is similar to
the Python package, and the packages themselves are packaged with
directory names such as "www/zope2-CMFPlone".  I have offered to make
these packages available as a tarball in the past, and have posted the
URL to see them via cvsweb.  The main reasons they have not yet gone
into pkgsrc-wip and then into pgksrc are:

0) There have been some transitory problems building a few packages on
   which I depend for my overall builds using the head of the pkgsrc
   tree. 
1) Some Zope products are giving me errors during the python
   compilation.  Still trying to figure out who to get it to tell me
   what is glitching.
2) There have been several new releases, such as zope 2.7.3 and CMF
   1.5 released in the past month or so.  This is important, since
3) I have found a couple of bugs in key places, such as during the
   inital login to a Plone site, which I have been hoping are fixed
   with a new version of Plone, or some other package.  I have even
   noted that under some circumstances, it is possible to get Plone to
   give errors during the signup process itself.
4) Lack of input from most folks in the community.

BTW...After several discussions and and much reading, I concluded that
it is probably a good thing to break out the individual packages from
within Plone and several other packages.  This will allow for updating
of the parts, or for persons to select a package such as GRUF without
needing to pick up all of Plone.

> ** when it was possible, I do not use the zope/plone components provided in
