If you're writing a filesystem Product, it should be a simple as:

from Products.PageTemplates.ZopePageTemplate import ZopePageTemplate
[...]
def run_template(self, *args, **kwargs):
     zpt = getattr(self, '_v_zpt', None)
     if zpt is None:
         t = self.generate_template_text()
         self._v_zpt = zpt = ZopePageTemplate('', t)
     zpt.__of__(self)(*args, **kwargs)

This is totally untested, though.  You may wish to look at 
FSPageTemplate.py from CMF's CMFCore package.
