I think you could probably have a small XSL file like this:

global-variables.xsl:
<xsl:stylesheet ...>
    <xs:variable name="SERVERADDRESS">...</xsl:variable>
</xs:stylesheet>

and then use:
<xsl:include href="global-variables.xsl" />

inside each XSL file which needs the variable.

(Otherwise you should be able to pass parameters to your XSL processor
and perhaps have an OS environment variable for SERVERADDRESS).
