Your select should have a "name" attribute and your options should have values. If you have some parameter passed to your XSL called SRSValue you could do this:

<select name="SRSSelector">
  <optgroup label="Available SRS">
    <xsl:for-each select="Layer/Page">
      <option value="{@SRS}>
        <xsl:if test="@SRS = $SRSValue>
          <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:value-of select="@SRS"/>
      </option>
    </xsl:for-each>                    
  </optgroup>
</select>

You have to pass this parameter to the stylesheet when the form is submitted
