All it requires is a library that wraps 0MQ API and turns void* socket 
handles to fds (int) and vice versa The fds assigned to 0MQ sockets 
should be above maximal number of file descriptors allowed to be open 
simultaneously by the OS. That way collisions with real fds can be avoided.

Then, standard poll() should be overloaded to use zmq_poll under the covers.

It seems easier then messing with 0MQ internals IMO.
