Assumptions

  1.  Your master document is called book.sgml

  2.  Each chapter has its own directory, and is called chapter.sgml
      (so foo/chapter.sgml, bar/chapter.sgml, and so on).

  3.  Each <chapter> appears inside a <part> in book.sgml

Something like this:

<!--
     Local Variables:
     mode: sgml
     sgml-declaration: "../chapter.decl"
     sgml-indent-data: t
     sgml-omittag: nil
     sgml-always-quote-attributes: t
     sgml-parent-document: ("../book.sgml" "part" "chapter")
     End:
- -->

The ../chapter.decl contains your DOCTYPE line for each chapter.  The file 
we use has the line

<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//FreeBSD//DTD DocBook V3.1-Based Extension//EN">

but adjust this as necessary.  You will also need to adjust the 
sgml-parent-document setting if your chapters are directly under the <book> 
element, instead of being inside a <part>.
