You can't in XSLT.

If the above is what you want to do, then 

<xsl:param name="js_var"/>
<xsl:variable name="var">zero</xsl:variable>
 <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="$js_var='1'">one</xsl:when>
   <xsl:when test="$js_var='2'">two</xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:value-of select="$var"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>

Would work.
