Do you reallmy mean XSLT 1.1?

How are you planning to reference the entities in the generated XML?

Here is an example that does it
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE boy [
  <!ENTITY name "simon">
]>]]></xsl:text>
    <boy>
      <name>
      <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;name;</xsl:text>
      </name>
    </boy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And here is the result of running it:
$ xsltproc doctype.xsl doctype.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE boy [
<!ENTITY name "simon">
]>
<boy><name>&name;</name></boy>


And here is the result of expanding entities:
$ xsltproc doctype.xsl doctype.xsl | xmllint --noent -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE boy [
<!ENTITY name "simon">
]>
<boy><name>
simon</name></boy>
