I don't use emacs, so I might have gotten the key bindings for copy/paste
all wrong, but do you mean something like this:

bindkey -m ^@ stuff " " # ctrl-space -> space to start marking
bindkey -m ^[w stuff " " # alt-w -> space to stop marking and copy into
buffer
bindkey ^y paste . # ctrl-y to paste buffer

Probably this won't do, as you can't 'restart' marking, as that would just
set a second mark.
