Not sure if I get you correctly...

I had to manage some properties I called "Advanced", so I defined a 
suitable DTML File 'manage_advancedForm' (a copy-paste job from the 
standard Propertiers form plus some customization) -- see attachment.

Then add something like the following:

     manage_advancedForm = DTMLFile('dtml/advancedForm', globals())
     def manage_advanced(self, REQUEST=None):
         """Edit Advanced Settings"""
         adv = self.propertysheets.get('advanced')
         adv.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)
         if REQUEST is not None:
             return self.manage_advancedForm(
                 REQUEST,
                 manage_tabs_message='Advanced Settings updated.',
                 )

Plus you have to tell Zope to draw a management tab "Advanced", so 
you'll add a dict {'label': 'Advanced', 'action': 
'manage_advancedForm'} to your manage_options attribute.

HTH,
peter.

ps.: I've taken this to zope@zope.org instead of zope-dev
