I did this and it is working wonderfully now:

<Control Id="LicenseText_Server" Type="ScrollableText" X="20" Y="60" Width="330" Height="140" Hidden="yes" Disabled="yes" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no">
          <Text SourceFile="$(var.resourcePath)\TS_EULA_Text.rtf" />
          <Condition Action="enable">SERVERLESSINSTALL = "0"</Condition>
          <Condition Action="show">SERVERLESSINSTALL = "0"</Condition>
        </Control>
        <Control Id="LicenseText_Serverless" Type="ScrollableText" X="20" Y="60" Width="330" Height="140" Hidden="yes" Disabled="yes" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no">
          <Text SourceFile="$(var.resourcePath)\TS_AC_EULA_Text.rtf" />
          <Condition Action="enable">SERVERLESSINSTALL = "1"</Condition>
          <Condition Action="show">SERVERLESSINSTALL = "1"</Condition>
        </Control>

If you look into the wix source file LicenseAgreementDlg.wxs you'll see this Control element:

                <Control Id="LicenseText" Type="ScrollableText" X="20"
Y="60" Width="330" Height="140" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no">
                    <Text
SourceFile="!(wix.WixUILicenseRtf=$(var.licenseRtf))" />
                </Control>

The LicenseText control has it's @Text attribute populated at build time with a path to a rtf file. If you want, you can copy this entire dialog to your source tree, rename the dialog, and modify it to suit your design.
You'd basically add another <Control> element that displays the other EULA and conditionally show/hide the Controls based on SERVERLESSINSTALL:

                <Control Id="LicenseText_Server" Type="ScrollableText"
X="20" Y="60" Width="330" Height="140" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no">
                    <Condition
Action="show">SERVERLESSINSTALL<>1</Condition>
                    <Condition Action="hide">SERVERLESSINSTALL=1</Condition>
                    <Text SourceFile="$(var.ServerLicenseFile)" />
                </Control>
                <Control Id="LicenseText_Serverless" Type="ScrollableText"
X="20" Y="60" Width="330" Height="140" Sunken="yes" TabSkip="no">
                    <Condition Action="show">SERVERLESSINSTALL=1</Condition>
                    <Condition
Action="hide">SERVERLESSINSTALL<>1</Condition>
                    <Text SourceFile="$(var.ServerlessLicenseFile)" />
                </Control>

Sigh,

Here is what I tried but doesn't work... can you not change a value of a WixVariable at runtime?

<WixVariable Overridable="yes" Id="WixUILicenseRtf"
Value="$(var.resourcePath)\TS_AC_EULA_Text.rtf" />

<CustomAction Id="CA_Set_EULA_SERVERLESS" Property="WixUILicenseRtf"
Value="$(var.resourcePath)\TS_AC_EULA_Text.rtf"/>
<CustomAction Id="CA_Set_EULA_SERVER" Property="WixUILicenseRtf"
Value="$(var.resourcePath)\TS_EULA_Text.rtf"/>

<InstallUISequence>
      <Custom Action="CA_Set_EULA_SERVERLESS" After="CostFinalize">NOT Installed AND SERVERLESSINSTALL="1"</Custom>
      <Custom Action="CA_Set_EULA_SERVER" After="CostFinalize">NOT Installed AND SERVERLESSINSTALL="0"</Custom>

Looking at the log file:

Action 9:00:17: CA_Set_EULA_SERVER. 
Action start 9:00:17: CA_Set_EULA_SERVER.
MSI (c) (AC:1C) [09:00:17:259]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding WixUILicenseRtf property. Its value is 'C:\Dev\Core Technologies\Main\Setup\Admin_Console_Setup\..\Resources\TS_EULA_Text.rtf'.
Action ended 9:00:17: CA_Set_EULA_SERVER. Return value 1.
MSI (c) (AC:1C) [09:00:17:259]: Skipping action: CA_Set_EULA_SERVERLESS (condition is false)

Property(C): WixUILicenseRtf = C:\Dev\Core Technologies\Main\Setup\Admin_Console_Setup\..\Resources\TS_EULA_Text.rtf


Would I have to store them in the binary table?

Steve

SERVERLESSINSTALL is a run-time property. These <?if?> statements are evaluated at build time. Since both prove to be false, wix falls back to the default EULA shipped with wix.
