I just checked in the product I have been hacking on to bridge CMF on 
top of Five:

   $ svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/z3/CMFonFive/trunk

The product basically allows use of CMFCore.PortalFolder and 
CMFDefault.Document using Five / Z3 views.  The only Python code in the 
product is a set of interfaces (which should probably be backported to 
CMF) plus a couple of view classes;  the rest is ZCML to set up all the 
bridge interfaes, and register the views.
