do this:
<fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2" font-size="10pt"
text-align="start"
color="black" padding="2pt" border="{$border} solid {$bordercolor}">

or to be a little cleaner the following:

<fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2" font-size="10pt"
text-align="start"
color="black" padding="2pt" 
border="{concat($border,' ','solid','',$bordercolor)}">
