Not necessarily. If you wanted to deal with both together you could  
use a develop egg of zope.testing in the buildout working directory.  
This may not be elegant, but it's workable. :)

It should be possible to run the zc.buildout tests without the test  
runner.  Zope packages that use test layers will need the Zope test  
runner.
