<xsl:template match="some_node">
    <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*">
        <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
        <xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
            <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

or if you only want all components and the @name of them:
...
    <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::component">
        <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
...

Regards,

Joerg
