I assume that you expect to see a small triangle in the output, since rtrif
is the ISO entity for the Unicode character U+25B8 BLACK RIGHT-POINTING
SMALL TRIANGLE. 

Yes, you can use an entity in a stylesheet (I suppose that is what you
mean), but then you have to declare it first:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY rtrif '&#x25B8;'>
]>

But if you use a character reference instead, you don't have to declare
anything. Just replace &rtrif; with &#x25B8;.
