I have two or more data frames in the table of contents area. Is there a way for changing data frame visibility in layout view of arcgis 10? I mean, similar to layers having option of on/off. I have seen in side the data frame, we can on/off layers but I want to do on/off for the data frame.

In your template mxd, the inset data frame should be placed before the main data frame. When your users import the template, the inset will move to position 1, and the main data frame will be in position 2.
When applying the template to an mxd with a single data frame, the default layers data frame will occupy the inset position.

There is no way that I know to do this in precisely the manner you describe.
If a data frame appears in Layout View then it always appears in the Table of Contents and vice versa.
However, you can toggle a data frame into Draft Mode on the Frame tab of its Properties and I suspect that this may address your use case.
