You could have one buildscript per project, that would do exactly what you want. Just create a new TFSBuild file, add the projects you want to have built to the itemgroup(in the order you want them built), set where you want the output to be. This is done by overriding the - property in your TFSBuild file.

But I also agree with the previous poster - why don't you just run with a single build script, and add a zip-task at the end? Maintaining a buildscript per project does add maintenance overhead...
