Would it be possible, to just extend the Zenoss Standard Model with Layer 2 
information in one of the upcoming releases?

There are a lot of tools available to gather Layer 2 information and it's 
currently extremely inconvenient  that there is no standardized way to store 
that information in the Zenoss CMDB.

You can write your own extensions if you want too, but you surely will run into 
troubles as soon as Zenoss starts to support Layer 2 discovery.

Zenoss already collects Device Interface MAC Addresses and Switch Port Names. 
So all that's needed would be a convenient way to link them together.
