The simplest way would be "sum(/report/entity[n]/row/someValue)", where n is
the position of the selected entity element in document order.  If you
wanted to output each subtotal you could do

<xsl:for-each select="/report/entity">
  <xsl:value-of select="sum(row/someValue)"/>
</xsl:for-each>

xsl:apply-templates could also be used in a similar fashion.
