I think that you want to do something like the following (untested), though you might have to tweak the details. I'm guessing that the situation you are thinking of is that you have a chapter with only a single section in it. (This code does not actually test to make sure that there are no other sections within the chapter, but it could be made to do so.)
<xsl:template match="section">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string(title) = string(../title)">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(name() = 'title']" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- NORMAL SECTION PROCESSING -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
