Not in the stylesheet. You can do it through javascript, but 
usually I prefer just to change the class of the element instead 
of editing the stylesheet. I.e., to add a class to an element if 
it doesn't exist and remove it if it does exist I use:

function swapClass(theElement, theClass) {
        var classArray = theElement.className.split(/\s+/);
        for (var i = 0; i < classArray.length; i++) {
                if (classArray[i] == theClass) {
                        classArray.splice(i, 1);
                        theElement.className = classArray.join(' ');
                        return;
                }
        }
        classArray.push(theClass);
        theElement.className = classArray.join(' ');
}
