AFAIK, I don't think so. The only reason I found was in the setuptools
doc: "For maximum performance, Python packages are best installed as
zip files."...

In any case, we can not add -Z directly to PYDISTUTILS_INSTALLARGS
now, otherwise we break all ports that install its egg zipped. It's
necessary to fix their pkg-plist before or set PYDISTUTILS_AUTOPLIST
in case.
