Not quite.  To attach a file, you must make your message a "multi part MIME" 
message.  This is actually not all that difficult to do, and you can find the 
details in the DTML documentation.

One think you might want, tho, is to get the MIME patch, that allows 
expressions for the various fields in the dtml-sendmail tags.  This will be 
helpful for things like user-supplied file names.
