You could use getfield to extract the first directory regardless of trailing slash:
if { [getfield [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] "/" 2] equals "about_us" } {
  pool p_http_aboutus
}
getfield splits the first parameter into fields delimted by the character in the 2nd parameter, and returns the field requested in the 3rd, starting at index 1. Since a URI always starts with a "/", field 1 is blank and field 2 contains the name of the first directory in the URI.
