Maybe look at how Auth.register does it for the password
field: http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/browse/gluon/tools.py#1905.
In your user function, you might do something like:
def user():
if request.args(0) == 'register':
form = auth.register(onvalidation=verify_email)
[code to add the email verification field to the form]
else:
form = auth()
return dict(form = form)
Then define a verify_email() function that takes the form and confirms that
the two email address fields are the same (actually, at the time the
onvalidation function is called within Auth.register, I don't think the
second email address field will be present in the form, so you might have
to access the value of the second field via request.vars instead of
form.vars).
