This is very similar to Amir's solution but handles lists as well.

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http import QueryDict

def build_url(*args, **kwargs):
    params = kwargs.pop('params', {})
    url = reverse(*args, **kwargs)
    if not params: return url

    qdict = QueryDict('', mutable=True)
    for k, v in params.iteritems():
        if type(v) is list: qdict.setlist(k, v)
        else: qdict[k] = v

    return url + '?' + qdict.urlencode()

Example usage:

>>> build_url('member-list', params={'format': 'html', 'sex': ['male', 'female']})
u'/members/?format=html&sex=male&sex=female'
