You can access the query string through the Apache environment variable
QUERY_STRING, something like this:

RewriteRule     ^/(.*)$ /test.php?foo=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

AFAIK you cannot directly get at the query string in the rewrite rule
regexp (Rob's suggestion) - though you can do RewriteCond's beforehand
based on the %{REQUEST_URI} which includes the query string.

I think the above line will be your easiest solution.

hth,
