Depends. If you want a *totally custom* server like EQ Anthology where there are no SOE zones, then you don't -- just export the zones with the same names as existing ones (e.g. commons, ecommons, etc.). If you want new zones to coexist with existing ones, then yes, you need ZoneProxy and a version of EQEmu that will talk to it. Now, if the FreakU eqclient team can get their client going, then it's a moot point since that client will be able to load any zone you throw at it.
I have a version of 0.5.5 that's compatible with ZoneProxy and a new version of ZoneProxy that works better than previous versions. I don't know if anyone besides me still has a 0.5.5-compatible client but just for kicks I'll release my version of EQEmu and ZP 1.4 so people can play with it.
