And now the good news: it's already implemented in the latest CVS :)
You can configure the global parameters in the map:pipelines section:
<map:pipelines>
<map:global-parameters>
<map:parameter name="skin" value="forrest-skin"/>
</map:global-parameters>
and use it:
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="test">
...
<map:transform src="{../skin}.xsl"/>
</map:match>
...
