[Setup] buildout and custom zope.conf for multiple mount points

Hi all,
in most cases it is convenient for me to have multiple Plone sites in the
same Zope instance, each stored on a separate .fs database.
In the Zope instances that I created the old style, without buildout, for
each new Plone site I
- added a zodb_db element in the zope.conf file
- restarted the Zope instance
- created the correponding ZODB mount point from the ZMI root
- added a "Plone site" object inside the folder associated to that mount
point.
Now, I'm wandering how to recover a similar pattern in a buildout-oriented
installation.
Some questions:
- can I customize by hand the zope.conf file?
- won't next buildout execution overwrite it?
- in the additional zodb_db elements, should I specify a path similar to
that of the Main database?
- can I define other variables at the top of zope.conf, and refer them in
defining the paths of the databases?
- where can I find more info on this subject?
Thank you very much in advance for any info / suggestion.
