Yes, assuming you know a pattern to identify the parent element of the 
elements to merge then change

to e.g.

  <xsl:template match="/root/foo/config">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* , $doc2/root/foo/config, node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>


or for instance, as long as "config" suffices to identify the parent 
element of the elements you want to merge it should suffice to use

  <xsl:template match="config">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* , $doc2//config, node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
