Assuming that there is only a fixed number of parameters, this might 
work ...

For :
/cgi-bin/foundation/index/id=23942/mv_pc=1/st=db/co=yes
/cgi-bin/foundation/index?id=23942&mv_pc=1&st=db&co=yes

RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/foundation/index/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$    
/cgi-bin/foundation/index?$1&$2&$3&$4    [PT,L]

This means that the rule awaits 4 parameters after index/ and will pass 
it back out as a query string in that order and it doesn't have to know 
what it was. ;-)

If there should me more, I guess a RewriteRule tree can be done in the 
config file or pass the parsing to a perl script that would traverse 
through the parameters after /index/... and split them up.

Lemme know if this work.  I haven't really tried it but from my 
experience writing rewrites, this should work. :-)
