I don't exactly understand your problem, but from what I can see you
should be able to do what you want with mod_rewrite if you just use a
regexp which contains a question mark. Have I missed something?
Does this extract from the docs help?

One more note: You can even create URLs in the substitution string containing
a query string part. Just use a question mark inside the substitution string
to indicate that the following stuff should be re-injected into the
QUERY_STRING. When you want to erase an existing query string, end the
substitution string with just the question mark.
Note: There is a special feature: When you prefix a substitution field
with http://thishost[:thisport] then mod_rewrite automatically strips
it out. This auto-reduction on implicit external redirect URLs is a
useful and important feature when used in combination with a
mapping-function which generates the hostname part. Have a look at
the first example in the example section below to understand this.
