I do this.  At the beginning of my stylesheet I put:

<!--
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet SYSTEM "xslt.dtd" [
  <!ENTITY % xslfo.dtd SYSTEM "xslfo.dtd">
  %xslfo.dtd;
  <!ENTITY % result-elements "
    | %basic-inlines; 
    | %basic-blocks; 
    | %out-of-lines; 
    | %wrappers;">
]>
-->

(It's not legal XML, so I leave it commented.)  When I load the file
into PSGML, I uncomment the DOCTYPE, do an sgml-parser-prolog (C-c
C-p), and then comment it out again.

I got the xslfo.dtd file from
http://www.renderx.com/Tests/validator/fo2000.dtd.html 

This isn't completely successful since elements of both the xml:
namespace and the fo: namespace are intertwined, and the DTD's don't
completely capture this.  But it's better than nothing.
