I would like to share a template between AJAX and regualr HTTP calls, the only difference is that one template needs to be served with the base.html html, the other one without.

Any idea?

The other answers require you to pass an additional context variable. But as long as you can access the request object, there is no need:

{% extends request.is_ajax|yesno:"app/base_ajax.html,app/base.html" %}

I found this to be much more convenient.
