But the question is "Why?" Why would you want to run CNCZEUS? There is a MUCH better free open source CNC controller available that has a large support bases and is being actively developed and maintained.
One of the hard problems with CNC is called "path planning". LinuxCNC's planner is pretty good about state of the art now. Anyone building a new CNC system would want this. Especially given that the price is zero.
