Yes. Use:

  <xsl:if test="ACCTTYPE  = document('')/*/my:Types">
     .  .  .  .  .  .
  </xsl:if>

Where my:Types is a child of xsl:stylesheet, defined like this:

  <my:Types>
   <type>AAA</type>
   <type>BBB</type>
   <type>CCC</type>
   <type>DDD</type>
   <type>EEE</type>
  </my:Types>

and the "my" prefix is globally bound to some namespace of your choosing.
