The answer in this lies in how the variable is created.  If the variable is
based on the contents of your XML then the solution is to simply to base the
XPath used to select the template on the XPATH used to populate the
variable.  For example, if:

	<xsl:variable name="gunk" select="root/*/@name"/>

causes "gunk" to take on the values of "fee" and "foo" then you do something
like:\


	<xsl:apply-templates select="/root/*"/>
		 .
		etc.

	<xsl:template match="*[@name = 'foo']">
and
	<xsl:template match="*[@name = 'fee']>

The name() or local-name() functions being useful if the match is on element
name instead of attribute value.

If the variable is getting populated based on some value being passed into
the style sheet the problem may be a little harder.  If the number of
choices is limited and well defined then you use a choose block:

	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="$gunk = 'fee'><xsl:call-template
name="fee"/></xsl:when>
		<xsl:when test="$gunk = 'foo'><xsl:call-template
name="foo"/></xsl:when>

If you are possibly matching multiple nodes against the template (it doesn't
sound like it) then using modal templates is useful instead of using named
templates (using named templates is more efficient if there is only one type
of match possible.)

If the number of choices is large then you may be better off in using a two
pass mode where one stylesheet builds a second stylesheet that is then run
against the original input.  That can be complex or simple, depending on the
problem.  If none of this helps, you need to tell us ore about the real
problem that you are trying to solve.
