We have extensions functions for that:
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-xpath-functions#TOC-HTTP-request-functions
For your use case we have:
xxf:get-request-parameter()
That sounds a bit server-side as an API name though.
BTW browsers have Window.location and Document.location which return
Location objects, but there doesn't seem to be anything to parse the
query string:
