Couldn't you just prefix a path to the template? So blah.tt2 calls
$tt->process("default/blah.tt2", ...) whilst blah.tt2?style=fancy calls
$tt->process("fancy/blah.tt2", ...) etc

I do something similar and actually find this template entry point
system the best. Means you can change the system on the fly with a
simple edit of templates rather than editing (and publishing in my case)
modules and restarting apache. I have the file extension in the uri
affecting the format of the page, so a url with blah.html will call
blah.tt2 and return standrd html, blah.txt will call blah.tt2 and return
text/plain format, and so on for blah.xml blah.wml or whatever.
