You can do it with xsltproc, but this is sort of from memory, and I'm not sure 
you can profile on role (I *know* you can profile on vendor and arch, I've 
never tried on role, but it ought to work)  I'm also not sure that you can do 
this while using the KDE DTD, I've never tried.  Hopefully this is enough to 
point you in the right direction though.  I expect you can find more 
information on either the docbook wiki or in Bob Stayton's excellent XSLT 
book (also available online.)

Something like this in your sources:
<imageobject>
<imagedata ... role="manual" />
<imagedata ... role="website" />
<imageobject>

And to process (one commandline, sorry for the wrapping):
xsltproc --output doc/index.docbook --catalogs --stringparam profile.role 
manual /usr/local/share/xsl/docbook/xhtml/profile-docbook.xsl source.docbook

Where source.docbook is your original XML file, and doc/index.docbook is where 
you want the resulting docbook file to go.  That would give you a docbook 
file for further tranforming as usual (normally with meinproc)

This kind of stuff is nightmarish to distribute, which is why we don't.  The 
profile stylesheet is provided with the standard stylesheets, you'll need to 
fix the path above of course.
