I use a helper function in my zshrc to set up all my bindings:

# usage: bindtc <cap> <default> <zsh-command>
bindtc () 
{
	setopt localoptions
	local keyval=$(echotc "$1" 2>&-)
	[[ $keyval == "no" ]] && keyval=""
	bindkey "${keyval:-$2}" "$3"
}

# Bindings for PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END
bindtc kP "^[[I" history-beginning-search-backward
bindtc kN "^[[G" history-beginning-search-forward
bindtc kh "^[[H" beginning-of-line
bindtc kH "^[[F" end-of-line
