I have a rails web app where many of the url pathss are of the form:
/people/12345678/category
…where the 12345678 is the user's id. What I would like to do is not match the second level, or use a wildcard or something so I can easily look at the stats for where everybody in the third level (the category bit).
Is this possible?

You can do a filter for /people/\d+/category using the Regex Match and get the totals for that.
Another idea is to setup a filter to standardize these urls removing the user id so you get cleaner reports. You can create a new profile and setup and advanced filter to transform the url removing the id. That will give you a cleaner report.
Make sure to keep an unfiltered profile around in case you screw up data using filters. This way you make sure you don't lose any data.
