Not in CSS, so that is off-topic.

However, I don't see it as a big problem. On the server side try to
fetch the stylesheet and if the result is zilch just write out the
local one. You could even do it in AJAX, but that is a bit pointless
as you need a server side component anyways (as AJAX cannot reach
files outside the same domain).
