You have 2
(simple and easy and i can help you with these two)
options:* use PHP
* use Javascript
Are you wanting it to be a persistent stylesheet when they visit from page to page, or change for every page the viewer goes to ?
CSS question...
I'm going to re-do my website. I plan on using CSS for the bulk of all the decorative stuff. I would like to have multiple templates on my site, using different CSS sheets, and have a random one come up each time someone goes to my site. Is this even possible, & if it is, how hard is it?
Not sure if that made sense to anyone or not

Hmm, you know, I haven't even thought about if I want it to be persistent, or change. Haven't got that far yet. This is still in the early planning stages 
. I'll have to think on that, & get back to you when I'm a bit further along.
I was just wondering how simple/hard it would be, before I got a bunch of css sheets designed & then realized that it was way over my head.

pretty easy.
take all your CSS files, and put them in the same directory, name them chronologically ( ie: css1.css, css2.css, css3.css )
if you want to use php :
nonpersistent between pages :
[php]
<*?
$num = rand(1,3) // 1 being the beginning #, 3 being the last # of your CSS sheets
echo "";
?*>
[/php]
( no * .. fucking crap ass vbulletin parsing ! )
that will pick a random number between 1 and 3, including 1 and 3, and load that specific CSS sheet : ( for instance, it rolls 2 = loads ccs2.css )
Javascript would be similar, but I am more fluent in PHP than Javascript so that'd take a moment to write and test
For persistency between pages you'd have to implement sessions or cookies, cookies being the easiest
