You can express this also like:

<xsl:param name="profile.condition" select="//pmc_condition"/>

It's hard to say where is the problem without actually seeing your
source code. Are you sure that your document contains at least one
pmc_condition element which is in no namespace?

Also it would be better to rewrite expression as (//pmc_condition)[1]
and if you know exact location of your pmc_condition element it is even
better to write something like /book/bookinfo/pmc_condition[1]
