I didn't want to strech the analogy that much. Of course there a 
differences between Apache and Zope ...

If you have content objects in Zope 2 (files, images, basic HTML, CSS 
etc.), I am sure you will be able to just upload them into Zope 3. You 
can even upload PHP code (as long as you have a place outside Zope that 
actually does something useful with it).

The problem is with the code, not the content. And with PHP, you can't 
actually run them in Apache 2 because the mpd_php module is not out yet 
for Apache 2 (at least not in a final release).

You WILL have to rewrite the module. Even the concept of modules in 
general has changed. It's like the fundamental changes in Zope 3 
(XML-based config files etc.) ...
