My thought precisely.
Here is a fragment from a stylesheet I wrote to print books (for the
software industry):
<xsl:if test="$showIndex='yes'">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="index">
<!-- static-content and flow goes here, to define the index pages
-->
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:if>
The $showIndex variable gets populated at the top of the stylesheet, based
on an implied (and so not always present) attribute in the XML, thus:
<xsl:variable name="showIndex">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="book/@showIndex='no'">no</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>yes</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

You'll have to avoid generating the page sequence at the
XSLT level. One possiblity is to put a test for
the existence of the elements which provide the content
around the code which generates the page sequence.
