From the source (User.py):

    def manage_users(self,submit=None,REQUEST=None,RESPONSE=None):
[deletia]
        if submit=='Add':
            name    =reqattr(REQUEST, 'name')
            password=reqattr(REQUEST, 'password')
            confirm =reqattr(REQUEST, 'confirm')
            roles   =reqattr(REQUEST, 'roles')
            domains =reqattr(REQUEST, 'domains')
            return
self._addUser(name,password,confirm,roles,domains,REQUEST)

Looks like you want to do something like pull name, password and confirm
from the form and then:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles', 'blah blah')">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('domains', 'blah blah')">
<dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users('Add', REQUEST, RESPONSE)">
