I don't think so. 
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/browser-selector.html says:

<map:select type="browser">
   <map:when test="netscape">
   ....
   </map:when>
   <map:when test="explorer">
   ...
   </map:when>
   ...
   <map:otherwise>
   ...
   </map:otherwise>
</map:select>

In other words you can take alternate action based on the test="..." 
value, but you cannot pass that actual value into the XSLT as a parameter.

> You can just pass-in the header to the transformation... No need for the browser selector.

But then I'd have to parse the user-agent string in my XSLT. The whole 
point of the browser selector is that it's done for you in the sitemap.
