It's no problem (at last it's possible), but you must know the 
first document's location:

<template match="two">
<tree>
<apply-templates select="x"/>
</tree>
</template>

<template match="x">
  <element name="x">
    <attribute name="id"><value-of select="@id"/></attribute>
    <attribute name="b"><value-of select="document('where
      ever')//one/a[b=@b]"/></attribute>
    <attribute name="them"><value-of select="@them"/></attribute>
  </element>
</template>


This might not be right, but it's close.

Cu,
