A non-recursive XSLT 1.0 solution is possible if the xxx:node-set()
extension is used:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xmlns:ext="http://exslt.org/common";>
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

 <xsl:key name="kCol2ByVal" match="col2/cell" use="."/>
 <xsl:template match="/*">
   <xsl:variable name="vrtfPositions">
    <xsl:for-each select="key('kCol2ByVal', 'num')">
      <pos><xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*) +1"/></pos>
    </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:variable>

   <xsl:variable name="vPositions"
select="ext:node-set($vrtfPositions)/pos"/>

   <xsl:value-of select="sum(col1/cell[position() = $vPositions]/@value)"/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on the provided source XML document:

<root>
 <col1>
  <cell value="1">text</cell>
  <cell value="12">text</cell>
  <cell value="24">text</cell>
  <cell value="100">text</cell>
  <cell value="9">text</cell>
  <cell value="6">text</cell>
 </col1>
 <col2>
  <cell>num</cell>
  <cell>-</cell>
  <cell>num</cell>
  <cell>-</cell>
  <cell>num</cell>
  <cell>num</cell>
 </col2>
 <col3>
  <cell>-</cell>
  <cell>num</cell>
  <cell>num</cell>
  <cell>num</cell>
  <cell>num</cell>
  <cell>-</cell>
 </col3>
</root>

The wanted result: 40   is produced.
