Does something as mundane as this work:

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$variable = 'foo'">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="foo"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="$variable = 'bar'">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="bar"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <!-- etc. -->
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:message>Invalid variable: <xsl:value-of select="$variable"/>
</xsl:message>
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
