The free libxml2 tools (xsltproc and xmllint) meet those
requirements.  For detailed instructions, see:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ToolsSetup.html
  and
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Catalogs.html

Xalan will handle an entity resolver for catalogs using
its -ENTITYRESOLVER and -URIRESOLVER options, but I don't
know of a way to do that with Xerces for validation.
I'll bet it can be done with some Java code and
the Xerces API, though.
