I'm not 100% certain but to me it looks like testXSLT is actually a call to Xalan. It is possible to call Xalan with parameters, using the -parameter switch.
fop calls Xalan itself but has AFAIK no possibility to pass parameters to Xalan. A work around might be to write a shell script that calls a transformation first and then calls fop with the transformation result (a fo file) as input.
