Actually you can:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version = "1.0" > 

<xsl:variable name="xxx">
  <xsl:call-template name="nodeset"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template name="nodeset">
  <aaa>1</aaa>
  <aaa>2</aaa>
  <aaa>3</aaa>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:value-of select="$xxx/aaa[2]"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
