the question is a bit vague. I think that you want to avoid the need
to maintain a separate html page for each linked image?

You can create a single template called show_image that takes an image id
as a parameter. Your image map links then look like this:

<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,100,300"   href="show_image?img_id=cabbage.jpg" />
<area shape="rect" coords="0,100,200,300" href="show_image?img_id=tomatoes.jpg" />

then create a template called show_image. The contents of show_image are pretty simple 
ZPT and I don't feel like writing it for you ;-) 
Read the ZPT chapters in the online Zope Book, including the Advanced chapter.
