Something like [not tested, just to get the idea]

Style ToField
  LatexType     Command
  LatexName     deftofield
...
  Preamble
    \newcommand{\deftofield}[1]{\def\tofield{##1}}
    \deftofield{No address given}
  EndPreamble
End

Style BeginLetter
  LatexType     Environment
  LatexName     letter
  LatexArg      {\tofield}
...
End

Hope this helps.
