if children aren't nested
<dtml-let x="objectIds(['childrenClass'])">
<dtml-var "_.len(x)">
</dtml-let>
if children are nested you probably need a recursive dtml/python method.
in python 
def count_children(o):
        x = o.objectItems(['childClass'])       
        sum = len(x)
        for child, child_name in x:
                sum = sum + count_children(child)
        return sum
