Well it is not copy and paste but both system use alike structure to insert 
new stuff  like payment modules.
The fora are fine, you can always ask for a little help when a particular 
gateway has no module for Zen-cart yet or a version that works but only on 
older zen-cart version ( 2.7X)
As a midlevel programmer you should not find it to difficult to adjust a 
oscommerce module i think.
