Why not let them be?  Could you explain why you think it's in the best
interest of the greater pkgsrc ecosystem to remove things from wip just
because of a danglingd dependency, rather than leave them for someone to
use as a base later?  (Certainly it seems fine to drop them from the
top-level wip/Makefile.)

If you've analyzed them and they really need zope3, and can't be used
without it, and there is no upstream that can work with newer zope, then
you've arrived at the conclusion that the package is hopeless, but
you didn't say that.
