Aaron,

The has_role method of User objects can take an optional 
second argument, which is the object to use as context 
(to take local roles into account). Note also that you 
need to pass the list of roles in as sequence. The 
following should do what you expect:

<dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role(('Manager','siteManager'),
this())">
  ...
</dtml-if>
