<xsl:variable name="barname" select="string(/someNode/@theAttributeWithTheValueBar)"/>
<xsl:variable name="fruitname" select="string(/fruits/roundOnes[1])"/>

*[local-name() = $barname and . = $fruitname]

You can do it without variables but this way it gives the processor
an opportunity to optimize.
