That might be one of the bigger things to overcome.

In order to succeed you must find out how django stores passwords and how your current passwords are stored.
That way you can start converting , probably by writing some python conversion script.
You can find out more on how django stores it's passwords here http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#passwords

For the Zope part you're on you're own, I've never looked at it in my life.
