\g<1> refers to capture #1.

So if you do:
  (foo)(bar)(fud)\g<1>
That'd actually expand to:
  (foo)(bar)(fud)foo

This of course it not very useful, but if the reference was inside  
the capture, you have a recursive expression, and thus can match  
balanced brackets, e.g.:
  (b|a\g<1>c)
Well match:
  a, or abc, or aabcc etc. since between a and c, the entire pattern  
is applied again.

There is, check the TextMate help book.
