[Zope] subpath in dtml?

I think what you want is to generate a URL like so:

http://some.site.com/reg?my_id=b6ac3fe9

And then within reg you can do:

<dtml-if my_id>
   <dtml-call "do_something(my_id)">
</dtml-if>

Does that help?  If not, could you be a little more specific about what 
you're trying to accomplish?
