Sort of:

,----[ C-h v cua-enable-cua-keys RET ]
| cua-enable-cua-keys is a variable defined in `cua-base.el'.
| Its value is t
|
|
| Documentation:
| *Enable using C-z, C-x, C-c, and C-v for undo, cut, copy, and paste.
| If the value is t, these mappings are always enabled.  If the value is
| `shift', these keys are only enabled if the last region was marked with
| a shifted movement key.  If the value is nil, these keys are never
| enabled.
|
| You can customize this variable.

`----

So if you set that to `shift', you should be able to use C-z as you
wish but you'll have to use C-S-x, C-S-c, and C-S-v for cut, copy, and
paste.
