<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myvar', [])">

<dtml-call "myvar.append(v)">

You can also use dtml-let or dtml-with "_(myvar=[])" to get the list started,
and standard list methods like extend and insert to build it.

How are you getting your data, though?  If it's from a SQL DA, then the
entire dataset comes already nicely packaged in an object which you can treat
as a list of lists.
