That depends. If you want to do simple addition/subtraction
from an existing property and put the result into another
property, the <export> task from http://www.antxtras.info can
do that. It's a bit long-winded but you can do something like:

         <property name="start" value="100"/>
         <property name="delta" value="25"/>

         <export op="+" fromproperty="start" value="${delta}" 
copyproperty="total"/>
