Use slots.

In your action method:

$this->getResponse()->setSlot("foo", "12345");

In your layout template:

<?php echo get_slot("foo", "default value if slot doesn't exist"); ?>

which will output the slot contents. In this example, you'll see 12345 appear in your layout. If you don't set a slot's value in the action, you can supply a default value to be shown instead in the layout.
