If you're talking Analogue DID, then I don't know if anyone'e ever done that with Asterisk/Zaptel.
What you'd need is not to use FXO, but rather FXS, since the PBX is responsible for providing battery (48V) on an analog DID. Also, I'm not sure if there's a standard with respect to immediate/groundstart/delay dial, but that'll have to match. Finally (and possibly most problematic) is that the FXS will deliver dial tone, which the C.O. will NOT be expecting. This may or may not cause a problem, and I am not sure what a neat way to turn off the dial tone would be (some nifty hacking in indications.conf would be a start, I suppose, but you're going where no one has gone before, so be prepared to blaze a trail)!
