Hmmm. You can provide several entries in the stylesheet, one for each paper 
size. Then it should be possible to select the correct entry with a syntax 
like style.dsl#a4 or style.dsl#letter. However, if I remind correctly, the 
docbook-utils work with default entries like #print. Perharprs it would 
require some adaptation.

Sorry not to be more precise.
