Sure, this can be done.
And for if .. then .. else :
( exprResultIf [condition], exprResultElse [not(condition)] ) [1]
I believe it should be possible to write a tool that takes as input a
given XSLT transformation (and as part of this a given XPath
expression) and converts it to equivalent code, in which any
conditionals are eliminated.
We could also add a good code-formatter that takes the output of the
first tool and converts it to "well-formatted code".
The last tool should be highly configurable, as there are different tastes.
Cheers,

Does this qualify for an if-expression-less syntax?
let $a:=4
return ('result1'[$a=1], 'result2'[false()], 'result3'[4=$a],
'result4'[true()])[1]
⇒ 'result3'
