My first choice would have been to use document(), but I can see why you're
not keen on that.

Try something along the following lines:

String s = "<frag>a bit of XML</frag>"
Builder b = new Builder();
DocumentInfo doc = b.build(new InputSource(new StringReader(s)));
NodeSetValue nsv = new NodeSetValue(doc);
ParameterSet params = new ParameterSet();
params.put("fragment", nsv);

You could also drive Builder directly using the SAX DocumentHandler
interface, rather than parsing raw XML, but I doubt there's a big
difference.
