FWIW, I don't know if it helps at all, but there's a concrete example of allowing a 3rd-party product to add a section to zope.conf via %import in the ClockServer product at http://www.plope.com/software/ClockServer/ . It sounds from your description exactly like what you want to do, although it adds a section rather than just a key, which might be fine for your case.
