i want to use variables for border and color
like
<xsl:variable name="border" select="0pt"/>

You probably need select="'0pt'"/> to make it a string type.

<xsl:variable name="bordercolor" select="#CCCCCC"/>

Same here select="'#CCCCCC'"/>

but the following does not work, why?
<fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2" font-size="10pt" text-align="start"
color="black" padding="2pt" border="$border solid $bordercolor">

You need to use attribute value templates:

border="{$border} solid {$bordercolor}"

In attribute content of a literal result element in a stylesheet, the brace bracket pair is interpreted as "xsl:value-of".

I hope this helps.
