One solution would be to do it like this (I use pseudo-code since I
am new to page templates, and don't want to look up the syntax):

if checked==true
   <input type="radio" name="foo" checked="yes">
else
   <input type="radio" name="foo">

I know it is not the best solution since you have to type the line twice
but it should work.
