I don't *think* there is canned solution to this in Zope, though
I haven't looked at any of the banner products yet.  But in
principle it is simple enough: the page that is responding to
the search query has access to all the search variables, so it
can decide which banner to include based on those keywords.  For
a simple banner list, dtml-if logic would be sufficient.  But
you probably really want it integrated with a complete banner
product.
In about two months I'm going to have to implement this for a
client.  I'm expecting to add it to one of the banner products
if they don't support it already by then <grin>.
