It's not really a matter of packaging. More that you would probably have
to re-write most of zms to make it work with zope3. Which I guess would
take a _long_ time.

However, Zope 2 is slowly starting to be based on Zope 3 (a process of
years). So, perhaps by Zope 2.15 porting zms to pure Zope3 will probably
be easier.

However, if you want to, probably the best first step would be to learn
to write Zope 3 extensions. Googling for 'zope 3 10 minutes' gives some
reasonable places to start with links to further docs.
