Ahh, I see, I misunderstood, using a scratch var or [data] would be options,
you could also use the 'explicit' form:

[if explicit]
[condition]
	'[item-field dl_type]' =~ /^serv/;
[/condition]
This is a service.
[/if]

If it were me I would probably take the easy way out and do it with calc...

[seti dl_type][calc]
	my $dl_type = '[item-field dl_type]';
	if($dl_type =~ /^serv/) {
		return 'service';
	} elsif($dl_type =~ /^soft/) {
		return 'soft';
	} else {
		return 'unknown';
	}
[/calc][/seti]

Then you could check what it was with 
[if scratch type eq 'service']
	[comment]This is a provisioned service[/comment]
	This is a provisioned service.
[elsif scratch type eq 'soft']
	[comment]This is a soft goods download[/comment]
	[set download_present]1[/set]
	[userdb
		function=set_file_acl
		mode="expire 7 days"
		location="[either][item-field dl_location][or][item-code][/either]
[/elsif]
[else]
	[comment]Unknown type[/comment]
	Unknown type: [scratch dl_type]
[/else]
[/if]
