Sure, you could do that... in XSLT 1.0, you'd have to
call a template, and the value wouldn't be boolean as
such, but it could be a string that evaluates to true()
or false() in a boolean context (depending on whether its length
is positive or zero).

But it would probably be simpler to use an inline XPath test,
as follows, than to call the above template with parameters.

Anyway, here would be my solution, assuming your input XML
document is something like
<doc>
  <Members>
    <Member>...</Member>
    ...
  </Members>
  <hierarchy>
    ...
  </hierarchy>
</doc>
  

<xsl:template match="/doc">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="/doc/Members/Member[1]"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Member">

  <xsl:variable name="next" select="following-sibling::Member[1]" />
  <xsl:variable name="next-is-child" select=
     "//hierarchy/node[parent = Label and child = $next/Label]" />

  <xsl:variable name="n" select="normalize-space(Label)"/>

  <xsl:element name="{$n}">
    <!-- If next Member is child of current Member, process it inside
      this result element. -->
    <xsl:if test="$next-is-child">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="$next" />
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:element>

  <!-- If next Member is not child of current Member, process it outside
     the above result element. -->
  <xsl:if test="not($next-is-child)">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="$next" />
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
