It should be possible to do this provided that
(a) the zsh source matching the installed binary is available to
compile against and
(b) the installed binary was compiled with dynamic linkage enabled.

What won't work is any automatic autoloads of the builtins etc. from
any module added later.  I can't think of a reason explicit "zmodload" 
wouldn't work, though, assuming the .so file was in a $module_path
directory.
