Sure,

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

<xsl:key name="extrachairstuff" match="extrachairstuff" use="@id" />

<xsl:template match="chair">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()|key('extrachairstuff', @id)"/>
  </xsl:copy>  
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Put the key method into it's own apply-templates, if the referenced extrachairstuff elements don't always appear after the refence.
