If you get real desparate you could always just have a hidden variable 
that form onsubmit populates using javascript so you end up submitting 
effectively just another standard input.. e.g.

<script language="javascript">
   function popField (oForm) {
      with (oForm) {
         fieldName.value = (check1.checked) ? check1.value : '';
         fieldName.value += (check2.checked) ? check2.value : '';
         fieldName.value += (check3.checked) ? check3.value : '';
      }
</script>
<form onsubmit="popField(this);".....>
   <input type="hidden" name="fieldName" value="">
   ....
   <input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="a">
   <input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="b">
   <input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="c">
</form>

like i say ... if you get desparate .... ;)
