Why do you need entities in FOP input? If you use different stylesheets for different chapters, write a Makefile to XSLT them into fo files, then merge and feed into FOP. If you use the same XSL for all chapters, then you can use <xsl:include> to pull all chapters into a single XML file and transform it to FO.
FOP is FO-2-PDF converter, not XML-2-PDF, so it's really up to you how to create an FO file from multiple XML files.
