I think surrounding it with {literal} and {/literal} should keep smarty compiler from trying to figure out the brackets. So, this should compile without smarty errors:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
{if $current_category.categoryid eq 123}
 {literal}#header {background: #ffffff url(images/neon_lights/head_bg_123.gif) repeat-x 1px top;}{/literal}
{/if}
{if $current_category.categoryid eq 456}
 {literal}#header {background: #ffffff url(images/neon_lights/head_bg_456.gif) repeat-x 1px top;}{/literal}
{/if}

-->
 </style>

gb2world and everyone else...thank you SOOO MUCH!

Got it working via this code:

<style type="text/css">
{if $current_category.categoryid > 5 and $current_category.categoryid < 8}
<!--
 {literal}
 	#header .head_wrap {background: transparent url(/skin1/images/neon_lights/head_top_coffee.jpg) left top no-repeat;}
	#header .line1 {background: transparent url(/skin1/images/neon_lights/head_top_coffee.jpg) left top no-repeat;}
	#header	{background: #ffffff url(/skin1/images/neon_lights/head_bg_coffee.jpg) repeat-x 1px top;}
 {/literal}
-->
{/if}
{if $current_category.categoryid eq 2 or $current_category.categoryid eq 3 or $current_category.categoryid eq 5 or $current_category.categoryid eq 32 or $current_category.categoryid eq 33}
<!--
 {literal}
 	#header .head_wrap {background: transparent url(/skin1/images/neon_lights/head_top_bread.jpg) left top no-repeat;}
	#header .line1 {background: transparent url(/skin1/images/neon_lights/head_top_bread.jpg) left top no-repeat;}
	#header	{background: #ffffff url(/skin1/images/neon_lights/head_bg_bread.jpg) repeat-x 1px top;}
 {/literal}
-->
{/if}
</style>

Thank you again for everyone's help. I am proud of myself as this is the first time I am coding in Smarty. The last languages I coded in was Pascal and Cobol...

I had a couple of other formatting issues and errors, but using the Firefox Plug in 'Webmaster Tools', I was able to follow the CSS code and see when the variables worked and didn't work.

thanks again,

Be sure and get firebug - it is indispensable for debugging css and html (& javascript).
