Not with CSS, but you can use server side scripting (Perl, PHP, etc) to
generate your CSS for you. Then it is simply a matter of declaring a
global variable and using that. (Be careful to send the correct content
type, CSS should not be sent as text/html and some browsers will reject
CSS that isn't text/css)
